Dead Saxo?! Help Guys! (High RPM)

  1. #1
    Hello guys, I seem to have a problem that nobody/any ammount of money can fix, my saxo is currently running at 3200rmp from instant switch on, I've replaced every sensor on the car, it sometimes sorts itself out but only for around 15seconds... It is deffinatrly overfueling as sometimes when it clears, I dab the throttle and it chokes as such for about 30seconds trying to pump the pistons as im guessing to start again, when it does, my Christ it revs back to the start of the whole process again... But the ammount of smoke it created is horrendous.... I am contemplating putting back on the car the old icv to see if this cures... Please please if you have any ideas about what's wrong please comment, im not ready to scrap my saxo guys!

    Vacuum leak somewhere,or a dodgy lambda sensor.If you`ve got access to another unlocked ecu you could try swapping over ecu`s.

    Replaced with new lambda at an expensive cost, sadly I have no access to a different ecu... Any ideas on spotting vac leak mate?

    With engine running spray wd40 around the vacuum pipes around the throttle body & the top of the air filter housing.
