Have you tried an air filter as well as the other things you have done. I had this problem as well . Mot tester told me new spark plugs, air filter and usually i do clean oil to help with the emissions. It's part of the push to get the old cars off the road , as well as the low emission zones.

I think the little rectangle thing is the pcv valve. I don't know if you can buy it by itself . You would probably have to buy an rocker cover gasket kit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266248255463?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5338848546&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 This...

The chain sets are still available, You can get them on ebay still. You want to get genuine GM if possible . NeoBros is a seller that supplies the kits that you need , as well as other sellers, Just type in z22se timing chain kits in the search engine, I was looking myself a few weeks ago. If...

A spanner light usually means there is a fault on the electrical side. It's possible something was unplugged when it was in the garage. Have a look around the engine bay, see if something is amiss. You also can get the OpCom diagnostic tool on ebay for about 20 quid , well worth the investment...

The website/forum used to have a shop where you could purchase the egr cheater. The shop has been closed for a few years now. Best bet would be to look on E bay there is someone on there who sells them. Also check out the facebook forum for some more info . there is possibly a member on...

have you checked for air leaks anywhere ?

It seems you have answered your own question about specific engines. I wonder if it will result in a reduction of road tax costs as this is directly related to emissions. But it does say there will be less mileage from this new fuel. Surprise Surprise.

That's what i thought. Sump, oil pan , Same thing. Carter is english, but it does not mean oil pan. The spring could be from inside the old tensioner , Still can't think what the other piece would be from or the small washer.

What is the carter? Is that another word for sump ? the big round disk could be this part in the centre of the balance chain tensioner. Not sure where the other pieces could be from.

Started to get a terrible knocking noise at rear of car over the last few days, Suspected it was shock absorber or broken spring maybe,after clearing out junk in the boot. Narrowed it down to part called cup shock absorber on the 7 zap website is where i got the name. This first image is...

From the pictures , It looks like you should completely drain the tank and clean out as best you can if you have muck like that inside it. You say you put a new fuel filter in, that was why i suggested to clean out the injectors. You have probably shafted the new fuel filter as well, if that is...

Did you take any pictures when you had it apart ? For future reference in case someone else needs to do it in future.

Maybe the injectors could do with a clean out. worth a try, taking them out and check the spray pattern on them by running some carb cleaner through them. It's worth a go, especially if you have fitted a new fuel filter recently. Assuming that it is a petrol car, try this one as well...

It could be related to your egr valve, If you have just changed it over . You could have upset the seating of the egr pipe where it enters the inlet manifold.

Not quite sure of the size myself. Most of us on the forum have blanked off the egr and used a cheater plugged into the wiring loom. Browse the forum for a bit you will come across enough threads on the subject. If you do not go the blanking route then there are several stores that do the box...
