Blown intercooler hose
 
Blew my FMIC intercooler hose (to throttle body) off the other day, with a bang.:eek: Limped home and sorted it out, new clips etc, tightened up.

The thing is, the car now runs like a bag of spanners. Any ideas why? All engine parameters appear normal, it just runs lumpy. :cry:

Its not been remapped yet, but was running fine before the hose came off.

Please help!

The car will run very rich if an I/C hose comes off, and it will have fouled the plugs more than likely. Get it running and take it out for a bit of a cruise at 70mph and it should clean up within a few minutes.

Thanks Paul!!:thumb:

Hope you're not too busy on 15th, I want to get it up to you for a map tweak.:notworthy
