Nothing really happening on the jimny, in use nie on every day, had a couple of trips out on the lanes past couple of months, developed a missfire so changed the plugs for piece of mind and changed the plug leads part of the ignition side coil packs are ok seems to be sorted now.

had a bit of use this week shifting a fair bit of wood about also removed a tree for someone amd kept the wood for my dad for his open fire.

bit of weight in the back end pulled no problem.

been cleaning up the 1.6 throttle body from the liana I kept going to have a shot at fitting it will swap iac tps from the 1.3 body see if it works makes a difference. Will update with results

Mot after Christmas may need a couple of small bits of welding if it passes will still sort it anyway supprises me how solid it is for 15 years of age.

So I fitted the m16 throttle body, made a new gasket swapped tps and idle sensors over after a run up the road and a small tweak of the tickover screw it ticked over fine after a couple of days driving it has a noticable on lighter throttle much more responsive but id noticed the higher up the revs it felt a bit strangled sort of 4k + granted I dont spend alot of time at them revs id also noticed it was using a bit more fuel.ive put this down to the size difference of the body to manifold there was a fair old step lip this is no good as it will affect the airflow/swirl in an ideal world the manifold wants porting out to match the body I mite get hold of another manifold and do this but ive cleaned and refitted the 1.3 body for the time been so yes you can use the m16 throttle body but imo the manifold needs matching. Few pics
