I pulled out the IACV on my 1.6K last night to clean it...( tickover was fast...). Just to find out how / if it was working, I pushed the piston into the housing. It didn't return, so I pulled it back out.......too hard...the piston and slotted pin/screw came right out....opps! It went back together okay, but there was some sealant/soft compound on the pin...presumeably to hold it into the motor ( assume it's some sort of electric step motor affair ). Problem now is can I trust the IAVC.....Can the piston come out into the plenium and enter the engine? I have re-installed it, and the engine appears to run fine...but thinking about the above, should it be replaced??

Thanks for your replies. The shift lights do work direct across the battery, but not through the jack. However, Maplins look like they've got what I'm after . By fitting a plug/socket arrangement in the dash, I can keep the visible lead short and neat whilst mounting the lights on the scuttle. I prefer to drill the dash rather than the scuttle. I'll also be able to remove the lights when not in use. Blatchat to the rescue again 😬 1.6K SS BRG/Yellow Stripe

for my BB shift lights. I want to mount a small socket in the dash, so that the shift lights can be plugged/unplugged. This pm, I've tried wiring through a stereo audio jack and socket, but lights won't work this way ( may not be good enough contact ). I've tried all my local motor factors, audio and electric shops, but no luck. Surely such a thing is made. Any suggestions?

My 7 ( 1.6K ) has a high tick over rate, 1500rpm, and is slow to drop from 2000 to 1500 rpm. Doesn't effect driving or gear changes, although limits use of engine breaking. I've tried cleaning the plenium/throttle body/butterfly valve. and checked that the butterfly snaps back shut. Appears okay. I've also reset the ECU. Takes a couple of seconds to drop. Any suggestions 🤔 1.6K SS BRG/Yellow Stripe

Completely free ❗ You're not a timeshare salesman are you...got to be something behind this especially as you're handing out free drinkies, trying to get everyone pi$$ed

Peter, Thanks for your explanation. I think I'd rather leave the engine alone, than have no oil pressure on startup. I've always thrashed the B*****ks out of my cars, without causing any serious failures, but since the K was not designed to be mounted inline, I can see that oil flow could be interupted in extreme conditions. It must be difficult ( impossible? ) to say that this was the definite cause of any engine failure ( how common was this problem before Apollo's were fitted? ). I guess it's all a question of minimising the risk ❗ How often do Apollo tanks/hoses/connections themselves cause problems 🤔
