“Put a volt meter across the Terminals if you have one,the reading should be 14./14.5 running”.

No light comes on on the dash.

The volt meter registers 11.8 only when running.

I'd say change the Alternator if the reading is as low as that.

I'd say the Pipe has gone weak so if it were me i'd replace it

Hi Steve. To set the base idle the car needs to as below. 1) Remove Airbox Elbow and check Butterfly Flap is fully closed inside Throttle Body. This can be adjusted on the Stop Screw at the top of the TB if required. Refit Air Intake etc 2) Make sure Engine is fully HOT (As in sat on Drive with Fans...

Checked the motor with a 12v battery and a flashlight. Checked the relay with a 12v battery and swapped out. Changed engine temp sensor?? The one near the dipstick? There should 2 sensors near the Dipstick. One has just a Single Spade Connector going to it and this is for the Temp Gauge. The other ...

I'd look to see if the Flexi Hose is bulging when the Clutch is operated. Might not have gone yet as in split, so no leaks but swelling meaning no Transfer of Fluid Power.

I'd do the Water Pump and possibly the Idler if the Bearing doesn't feel great.
Also the Tensioner Spring on the Idler is a must on a 16V

I'd start with the Basics. Run it up with no Air Box so that you can see if the VAF is moving freely. Then i would hunt over the VAC Pipes to see if there is any obvious splits etc. After that it would be Throttle Body off and lean out the IAC Valve underneath it. Some of the Codes are for O2 Sensor...
