    upset to say the least

    As some of you know, i bought gregs 2litre roughly 4weeks ago. For 3 of those 4 weeks it has been at perfect touch where it was due a cold start map which was a 2 day job. However on further inspection they realised it needed an idle control valve rather than just a throttle position sensor. So after 2 weeks of waiting for the parts (connectors for the DTA) they set about creating one. It was due to be picked up today however the idle control valve they have used doesnt seem to want to work. So they tried a different one still with poor results. Therefore it hasnt been set up or even cold start mapped yet. Claudio has also told me that it may be due to a problem with the DTA and not the ICV which as we all know will be £££££.

    So after 3weeks, no car, riding to and from work everyday, its still not done, and i am very pissed off, not with perfect touch, as its not thier fault the parts took ages to arrive and the customer service is great, you can actually havea conversion with them without feeling you are pissing them off.

    So i am going to pick it up this afternoon and persevere with the cold start problem for the time being until i can get hold of a few bits. God i hate being without a car.

    more like no idle until its warm. It just stalls unless engine temp is at a nice level.
