I noticed that the centre of the CAS (mitsubishi symbol) is not spinning all the time and sometimes stops all together? I touched it and the symbol spins, even the engine note changes when I touch it. 

Is it faulty? As I get slight bit of a hesitation when boosting also. 

I only decided to check iacv (cleaned with brake cleaner) and check the timing as it was fluctuating on idle. 

Thanks guys.

Hahaha lol I don't mean that the whole CAS spins

The mitsubishi symbol in the centre of the CAS. Have a look at yours and you'll see what I mean. 

It's not a casper the friendly ghost situation lol. 

The little Mitsubishi sign in the middle of the CAS should not spin at all. It probably got loose somehow(!?) and spins here and there due to vibration. Even stranger is touching your CAS should not cause your engine to sound different, that's why Duncan is probably asking if it's loose. 

 

It's normal timing fluctuates a few degree's at idle. That's what controls your idle speed. You need to lock your timing prior to verifying. If your idle is swinging drastically, you most probably have a vacuum leak. Pressure test or smoke test your system.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
