as a few of you may know i have had problems with the hoses coming out of my powerbox. but i have fixed these now and they are tight. when i started the car again it seemed quiter but still revvy. i got some maintenance spray and sprayed all around the 3 pipes coming from the inlet and it didnt make much of a change at all to the revs so i know i have fixed them. when i sprayed the spray under by the left corner of the manifold (by throttle body) the car revs dramatically dropped. i have been told time and again to change the top bolt that earths the alternator but this doesnt touch anything. i have however noticed that the corner of the throttle body is coming into contact with the bracket which the alternator earths to.
Anyone else had this problem? would i have to chnage the bracket or grind it down (bend it)

It sounds like the seal between throttlebody and power box is pants mate first call is to re seal that, I never change the location of the earth wire... mine runs fine

Try a new gasket, with some sealer.
