    Idle stepper motor 'FAIL'...

    This was approx $38 on evilBay, but it could have co$t me alot more. The old (approachig Use-By date) one is cleaned again...and back in.

    Partially my fault, for not removing the hardened green thread-sealant, but I thought the manufacturer knew best, but would have hoped it was more robust than this...

    On the bright side, it still had 2 ~ 3 more turns to go... better to break now than on 'nipping up'. The original needed MUCH more force to unscrew... (Several times to clean/test/clean again...test again... clean....)

    The company is in the process of being advised, so no-names yet. - Only happened an hour ago. (Saturday afternoon. Edit:- - Company replied next day, Sunday morning...apologising for the 12 or so hours delay....)

    Such a savage pre-emptive strike means the ghost of Sir Joseph Lucas is truly annoyed wtih me...

    James in Gosnells,

    3.9 Classic Vogue SE with working EAS, Cruise Control...and slightly inconsistant idle.

    Were you never taught that you shouldn't tighten things up with a hammer?

    thats a fair effort, five stars to you!

    I have had the one on the P38 out and cleaned half a dozen times and have been very heavy handed with it so I am concerned at how cheap the construction of that one must have been

    Good news, the company replied (email this morning, Sunday.) offering replacement.

    Anyone got a dead IAC valve ?- smash it open to see how thick the material is.!

    Porridge.... and 24" Stillson wrench...
