Idle speed is too low then if it cant handle wiper and lights. Electrical systems in a k10 are terrible. Make sure all you earth points are clean and check you battery and altenator are working properly. Then go adjusting the idle
Put your winter/summer flap on the airbox to winter too
check the condition of the rotor arm and dizzy cap too as they can cause poor starting
whats that?
its on the standard air filter just above the exhaust manifold. There is a little lever on the side that diverts the air passed the exhaust manifold this is the "winter setting" clicked back is the summer setting.
can you see whats coming..whats that then!
the spark plug leads all go back to the big plastic distributor (dizzy for short) this plastic cap has two screws or clips that you can undo and look inside. You will see a the rota arm with a metal bit on the end if it's all white it needs a clean. Also look inside the cap you will see 4 metal contacts these may have white bits on that need cleaning off with a screwdriver or wire brush.
Put your winter/summer flap on the airbox to winter too. Change the fuel filter too dude, they can get clogged up with crudd over time, check the condition of the rotor arm and dizzy cap too as they can cause poor starting. (Y)
Baz; have you really had problems with ya electrics? Can't believe that man, i've never come across a 10 with bad electric other than the headlamp bulb plugs. Still they have a better track record than the 11's with their throttlebodies, dizzys & melted fuse boxes :laugh:
Good to see your little baby is going strong now
