mech5107 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Before everything try lowering idle from he screw in the throttle body. if it's too high the deceleration cut off is enabled, closing injectors till just above 1000rpm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 i just watched the vid,My sportif did this when i did my conversion recently !!! Its nothing to do with any idle adjustment,do not adjust any of them on the body or main idle on throttle pulley.that is a vac leak i promise you !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mech5107 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Mine does this sometimes, it's due to fuel cut. Do you have a wideband on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The issue with my high idle and leak etc was that i looped the two air feeds from the powersteering valve.this was pulling air through itself.this cant be done.instead they have to be blocked as individual lines.

Chris Green Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Had this problem last night, checked all of the vac lines etc, no joy. I then adjusted the distributor and that solved the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 ok so here we are again! I've put in the power steerin vac lines to no avail! i need help from someone or il go mental at this thing! check ALL the other vacs and it seems to me like theyr all ok,no splits etc. only now has the car started to piss me off, im not givin up tho, i never give up, its no in ma nature. the timin seems good and the dizzy has be adjusted so its not that. Gona stick fresh fuel in her soon to help things but im sure its a vac issue. Any ideas?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 like said have you tired icv? its not a vac leak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I had a weird ICV once and the idle was all over the place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Leak would cause a high idle.. but it wouldnt cause the revs to go up and down like that... IMO... If it is a leak tho there is a dead easy way to find it...Take the boost pipe off and put your hand over the throttle body... It will suck. If it cuts out. Its not a leak.... If it doesn't cut out the revs will get lower, you should hear a sucking noise from where the leak is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Have a look at the throttle cable, if it's too tight and it's pulling the butterfly open even a little bit, air will be creeping in to the inlet mani and making the sensors go funny on idle causing it to hunt. Mine does it some times cause my throttle is a bit sticky. Worth a try, just unhook the throttle cable from the pulley or loosen is right off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I had a weird ICV once and the idle was all over the placeWierd that a faulty Idle Control Valve, wold lead to an uncontrolled idle ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
