throttle body - rev limiter

[micra-maker]

i tried taking the rev limiter off and as you know it acts like it runs on 3 cylinders and have just tried again and when running without limiter it turns something on in the thhrottle body which cuts in and out making it run badly way to rich
any ideas what this is and how to sort it so i can run without the limiter ?

the idle control valve on the front of the t/b ?

ok but when i remove the tape it runs fine :/ just wondering why its cutting in and hw to get it to run without revlimiter smoothly ?

 

[frank]

what ever it is i hear it switch it self on at it runs really badly then turns off and runs fine. but doesnt do it when the square isnt coverd?

[micra-maker]
