Default Engine Idle

Hey Guys, Just a quick one. Tonight i noticed that when im slowing my car down, just before i stop, the revs in the AU drop to about 350 - 400, i get the shudder like its about to stall then it bounces again. It did this when i brought it, but it went away, i put this down to the fact that it may not have been driven for awhile, but it came back, only tonight, was fine 3 hours before on the way home from work.: any ideas?


Nick

Mine did this too occasionally, and if I hit the gas when idling that low it'd backfire and stall lol, mostly when slowing down for an intersection, then giving it some at about 10kmh.

Anyway I had a leak/opening between the airbox and throttle body. Fixed it and it idles fine now, might pay to do the plugs and leads aswell.

You may need to clean your ISC valve. There is a how to here in GK's project thread.
