Ronan S Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well lads,Recently fitted cams to my car and also got the throttle body changed because she was idling funny before(blocked pipes in the base of it)but when the new one was on it was idling weird because it would go from idling normally,to sticking at 3000rpm,then back down to normal,and back up to 1500 and then conking when I'd put in the clutch whilst rolling.Because of that I decided to fit the old one again(which resulted in it idling far nicer),cleaned it all out,sealed it and fitted the pipes correctly.I've noticed that it starts fine and idles no problem when cold but when It warms up the revs drop to between 400-600rpm and the lights start dimming and the engine management light starts to light up when it starts idling too low.I checked all the pipes again,took it off,re sealed it,cleaned it again,still the same problem.Even with the screw wound up to the last she struggles to idle.Could anybody help me out?Dying to have her back on the road because I plan on mapping it soon!

smobey_sutton2 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Have you tried Idle Control Valve? Or could possibly be a vacuum leak in the system somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
