ahoward87 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 hi all. i was wondering if anyone can help me. i have a glanza v auto but when it is just ticking over it wobbles the steering wheel quite dramatically. it is like it is struggling on tickover but soon as i apply even a few hundred revs it goes completely. im sure im not the only one out there wiv this problem... cheers guys and girls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 What does the car idle at? Should be about 900rpm. If its lower than it'll vibrate the car. If the RPM is right, then what engine mounts are you using? If stock, they are probably buggered. If aftermarket then it is quite normal for them to vibrate the car.

Starlet__SR Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Try tweaking your idle. Even if its a few degrees, it will make a whole load of a difference.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ahoward87 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 they are original mounts by the looks of them. it does not have a steady idle, how do you turn the idle valve a few degrees? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 There is a small 8mm nut on the throttle body, it may be tricky to get access to. This should allow you to adjust the RPM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nicwan8 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 If you have stock ecu and idling around 700-900, don't tweak the idle.I'll suggest you to check engine mount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i had to do this its quite simplemy car was set to 1500rpm at idle when i bought it which you can imagine was really noisy and quite horrible to listen to so i turned it down to about 800 rpmits easy to do. its near the inlet manifold right at the back. all youll need is a quite large flat blade. anti clockwise turns it up i believe clockwise turns it down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Inlet manifold at the back?It stalled on me yesterday and almost did it again but i reved. It idles at about 900rpm but when you put it in D (auto) it drops to about 600 and shakes like poo!Ill see if i can find it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
