ep2e Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi, im a newbie here and have bought my first starlet. Its a 1995 1.3i 'jeans' edition and has the 2e-e engine. After the engine has warmed up and idle is normal (900), everytime i accelerate hard in 2-3 gears and then come to a stop the engine cuts out, normally between 20-30 mph whilst im coasting to a junction. It fires straight up again but occasionally the idle is rough but a few taps on the accelerator pedal sorts this out. It only happens when the engine is warm and when i have been flooring it in 2-3 gears sometimes 4th. Its fine during normal driving. I have cleaned the throttle body, replaced the air filter. Any ideas what can be causing this as its driving me nutscheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr1cky Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 try giving it a good service, new spark plugs, an all the filters etc, see how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Check your idle control valve out.. sometimes they can play up and drop the revs totally when you go to accelerate. It will be on the left hand side of your throttle body Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep2e Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Noticed it only happens when the lights are off and engine has warmed up i.e. when idle speed is at its lowest.Can anyone shed some light?how can I increase idle speed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep2e Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Chack your vacuum hoses and breather system. It on a carb? or single point? its an old skool engine No, its a 1.3 multi point injection, 12valve. Where are the vacuum hoses? Are they located on the throttle body?

sepi Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hey, i have the exact same probelm. But mine is in any gear. if i put my foot down as soon as i go inot neutral a few seconds later the car will stall. i can switch it back on streight away but its just anoying because you never know if you have accerated enough for this to happen and so it can happen when your not expecting it. And mine has got nothing to do with it being cold or warm. it always doese. Its as if you push the accelerator past a certain point it doese it. its as if, if you have pressed the accelarator past a certain point it doese it.can someone please give me some more help??thnks alot.
