Re: New Member Mantara questions

2009-11-08 by steve191127

Hi, had the same problem on my Efi Mantula, replacing the idle air control motor helped, however I also had a problem with the tracks on the throttle position sensor, and again another e-Bay bargain got me a replacement (a Land Rover part). 

However if you are based in the UK, there is a forum for Marcos owners who are a good source of advice on local suppliers (even though they are happy to have Marcos owners fro anyone in the world join and say hello). It is not affiliated to any club.
