dcbr Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi guys my cars been nothing but a headache recently. It's fine when until I boost it once then it starts hunting idle goes from 1.5k - 2k constantly then when I attempt to boost it feels like there's no spark top end of revs. Someone help me because it's starting to annoy me?!!Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 First thing I would do is Check for boost leaks in all hoses, then clean out the icv (idle control valve) and throttle body 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dcbr Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Already checked for leaks. There was a hole in one of the vacuum pipes from boost solenoid to wg and I changed it. Still the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Mine was doing the same, i would remove every vac line and then cover the hole with your finger until you find the one that is leaking. Sometimes unplugging the vac lines and starting the car, then re-fitting them sorts it as the ECU goes abit funny... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
