Default AU1 almost stalling on hard stops.

Hi All,

My AU1 6 cyl auto sedan is almost stalling when you stop hard/quickly. It happens in forward and reverse gears. If you stop slowly it's ok. If you keep your foot on the accelerator (keeping the revs up) and left foot brake, it's ok.

I have searched the forum but I didn't find anyone having exactly the same problem.

I have cleaned out the ISC with carby cleaner and gone through the computer idle relearning process as well - still the same. :

Please help me.

Hi bodes-sh,

Stop fast... sometimes you just have to.

Idle is 650 in park and 550-600 in drive.

Trans fluid, filter and seal were replaced today - but before that it hadn't been replaced for around 40,000klms...

Thanks.

Sounds similar to my base idle problem, was doing similar things nearly stalling under brake and too low in the revs dept from memory I think revs should sit about 800 (not sure on that one though )

Mine was caused from battery issues. Not sure if its the same thing but something to consider anyways.

Cheers

The AU is fixed!

It didn't take much. I bought a bottle of Injector cleaner (Castrol) that you poor into the tank. Less than 20klms later it was running as good as it can :togo:

Thanks for your replies.
