Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Ny Glanza I run daily has had a slight idle problem as of recent. Ive been through all the basics (vacuum leaks, leads etc) but can't find the issue. It idles at around 2k on cold. Then slowly drops to about 1250-1500 but when I rev it'll sit at 1750 for a few seconds then slowly climb down to 1500. I changed the Idle control valve for a spare clean one I had lying around but still notice improvement. Possible sticky throttle body? Anyone had a similar problem? Quote
A L 3 X Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Have you fitted a new engine mate, could be vac lines on wrong if so as iiirc your engine failed recently or am I thinking of the wrong person?Try adjust the idle screw? Quote
Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 This is a different car dude but yeah It's me you're thinking of haha. It's becoming a long project. Can't seem to see an idle screw on the side of the throttle body? Or is it the nut and grub screw below the throttle cable pulley? Quote
Beastmode panda Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Check the butterfly in the throttle bodie mate, clean it out properly and make sure it's fully clean, could be the butterfly sticking. Mine used to do it before i cleaned it out properly. Quote
A L 3 X Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 It's on top of the throttle body usually under a black grommet, think u need to put it in diag to set it Quote
Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 If I remove the throttle body to clean it will I not need a new gasket? Or just stick some hylomar on it to seal it? I'll have a look for the idle screw too Quote
Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Is it this rusty screw at top of picture here? Quote
Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Awesome shall have a play and see. If not the throttle body will be coming off Quote
Beastmode panda Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Don't take off the throttle body then! Haha . Just get some carb cleaner in there, take off the throttle cable so you can twist the butterfly and get in there with a cloth and some spray. Quote
daniel_g Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 by the way, worthwhile putting a new TB to inlet gasket in if this doesn't fix it. If its leaking it will increase the idle, and it'll be hunting. They are like 4 quid. Quote
Jordk Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Adjusted screw and seems to be better now! Although on start up it revs high and takes a minute to start dropping (slowly). Also when I dip the clutch coming to a junction or stopping the revs rise then drop? Quote
Dave D Glanza V Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I have exactly the same problem Quote
