Same here, but no strange noises (yet) from the manifold.

Me too Tatts. My Valve is louder than ever at the moment. And it also calms when the engine is properly hot. I would have put money on it being the manifold too.

Thats the thing Jim, I know it's not the Manifold - both Vis motors are working fine, and the Power butterfly rod is ok; plus my little mod on the Balance butterfly will undoubtedly help - hopefully anyway!

It's just the clatter when it's cold, kinda reminds me of a diesel!

The lack of power somedays is worrying, but I'm off down to see Lates in a few weeks, see what he makes of it.

Changed the idle solenoid. No more clacking!

But you said the noise was coming from the purge solenoid, not the idle stepper.

How very odd.
