It is quite common for the manifold to have signs of oil and moisture. If you drive short drives and the engine does not get hot enough, moisture tends to mix with oil and you can get a "mayonnaise" coffee coloured sludge.
It can also come if you have water leaking into the engine, from the inlet manifold gaskets. Have you ever checked to see if the outer spark plugs have had water on them? That is a sure sign of leaking inlet manifold gaskets. see specifically pictures in post no 7. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=89142 The MAP sensor is new. But does it work?

No, the intake manifold as I have already said is clean apart from the pool of coffee once in force stress to rotate the engine idle without keeping your foot on the accelerator.
How do I check if a sensor works? |

The easiest way for you to test a sensor is to replace it with another. In some cases disconnect and run without, to see if there is a difference.
That's why I asked if you still had the old sensors. |

Kaiser yes all these tests were done before the change of small belts ...
right now I'm enjoying the "good weather" for my back belts Quote:

You said you have an ELM327 interface ( or similar). Use it to read the values.

Soon as I can again turn the ignition key of the car, I remake all tests if the vehicle doesn't start

The situation is serious:
I just found out that there are exhaust valves. I probably forgot to mention that my mechanical knowledge is almost nonexistent. But basically, given the state of the small belt before replacing, is it not likely that one or more exhaust valves is bent? How can I check the status of mechanically exhaust valves? This famous white smoke coming out the exhaust is not the result of exhaust valves bent? |

If nothing happened with the front timing belt you have no reason to suspect the intake valves. About the exhaust valves, as stated before, I don't know, you only have to check or hope. Only a compression test will tell, if you don't want to take the heads off. It doesn't matter that the inlet manifold is not in place, the valves must close the cylinder hermetically. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNna-qJscY Kaiser already explained you how to perform the test, the cams for the cylinder you are testing must not be in contact with the valves. You'll need to rotate the engine for each cylinder to have it's valves in close position when blowing in it. Didn't you find a cork yet to put it instead the spark plug ? Please make sure that you understand the above, if not, just tell, will try to make every detail clear. It doesn't make any sense on this stage to do anything else than make sure the valves are doing their job.

I have already done the test buttons on the intake valves. on the test with the pressure, it was not conclusive because the air doesn't compress.
