jobo Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 recently my glanzas engine has made a problem for its self, the idle is rising and droping, it drops to nearly stalling out then goes back up to over 1000 rpmi have cleaned the idle control valve and swaped all the plugs over to see if it makes a difference but its just the same. it was serviced on saterday new plugs oil filter etc, when i took the plugs out the wer thick with soot and i had only covered 80milesits running rich? i think thats what it shows its forged tdo4emanageetcanyone got an idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 i have the exact problem! I often have to sit there and rev it abit untill it becomes steady enough to leave it alone.hope fully it is an easy cure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redz11 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 throttle position sensor? sounds similar to a problem i had with it revving and cutting out.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeh lee is correct throttle position sensor might not be closing/switching off correctly, try forcing the throttle closed while the engine is running to see if it moves back anymore, the tps is just a on off swich unless you have and automatic gearbox and if the throttle is closed and the switch is still saying to the ecu it's open all funny things happen.

mr karnage Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 if its running rich, when you rev it youll have pops and bangs and maybe some FLAMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 really lol my one pops and bangs, no flames though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jobo Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 i get alot of pops and bangs some good flames 2. i think it could be map sensor, i will also try the tps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 mines revs up and down and cuts out once in a blue moon aswell but im not worried as im blaming it on the fact that i have a little oil fountain in my engine bay lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
