Matt993fod Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Ny Starlet is idling very fast, not sure why. Has also become unreliable to start. Any suggestions where I should check first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nafeez2125 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Did you check if there is any vacuum leak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Turbo or NA? Whats the mileage? There's a number of things you could check Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt993fod Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Its non turbo, done 130000 miles and I don't think any vacuum hoses are dodgy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
federalman Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Have a check the throttle isn't sticking open a touch, might be worth taking the throttle body off and giving it a clean. I know the 98 turbo has an idle screw covered by a little rubber plug that you can adjust. You can also try cleaning out the idle control valve that helped mine to stop the idle bouncing. Not sure on anything else, I'm currently experiencing the same but haven't yet had a change to clean the throttle body. It sits steady but sits quite high at times so if yours is doing the same I'm hedging a bet on it being throttle related. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
