04 gu bus...

Great to see your having a win mate.
One step at a time hey.

So if you have access to a multi meter check what the alternator is doing. Sounds like it could possible be on the way out.

But getting there

Check both batterys.. both look good.. how do i check the alternator? Just peel red plug at top of alternator and check frm there?

Ok checkd alternator.. and its all good.. pumpn out 14 votls of electrical goodness... quick visual n feel of earth straps.. they look all good.. tight/clean and no fraying... the more i do and look the easier it is to start... it will start first click.. 5 at the most.. as compared to easy 10-15 atempts befor i startd tryn to solv the high idle/hrd statn... go new set of glowiez.. not cheap but i wnt to change them too.. just want to elimnate all possibiltys so i can have this bad boy running mint....do these have like a stepper motor for the high idle switch or when u turn on aircon? Another quick question... where can u feed through wires frm engine bay through firewall? Need to feed through my amp wiring and another power cord for gauges etc...

Ok found a better way of getn wires through firewall... push them through frm under the dash.. as its to hrd to get them through frm the engine bay side cause of the brake booster... fused.. soldered and heat shrinked. I only like to do things once/right the first time... none of this silver ducktape nonsence like what was in here befor. Lol

I think on your model its all electronic. So no puller for the ac, it's all electronic signal.

Ye im guessn it could be a sensor... well 3 hrs later and i just finsh cleaning up all the wiring.. all new terminals, heat shrinked and everything covered in corrugated tubing.. everything fused and tidy.. nw just need to finsh running rca n amp power cord to rear tomorrow then happy days.. start havn a crack and puting my new gauges in...

Re read what 3speed said.

How oily was your IC, you said it was oily when you took it off,
give it a clean with petrol and tape up one end and pressurize it
with a bike pump, unless of course you have a tigged one already.
Make sure the IC is dry before you re install it,[hair dryer]

Intercooler wasnt oily.. just the ic piping? Will test for peace of mind tho... cheers

Possibly cleaned prior to sale.
If it's not to much trouble pull the hosing off the intake manifold and check.

If your keen one way of cleaning spot and carbon is a water methanol injection.
Google it. It's very interesting. Lol. When you have a sec.

I've already pulled the inter cooler and no oil in and around... Just a bit of oil inside inter cooler pipes.. Will tape up and check for bubbles with bike pump.. . And will see what boost gauge has to say once installed... If it leaks then il be getn me a new one... No biggy.. I was gona splash out and get either a cross country or monster inter cooler but will most probly settle for a tigged up factory replacement...

Try this mob mate. I got one and works fine.
