andygal 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Hey, had this problem for a while now, when i start the car, it idles at around 1500-2000RPM. Sometimes it will come back down to around 1000RMP after a while and other times it wont. Went out today and put vagcom on it with the engine running nd after about 15min the idle was fine at 750ish RPM. Details i read from vagcom are Throttle angle 10.4degrees ISV adaption 1.086 ISV duty cycle 52.4% +- 3% ish Have tried serveral times to lean the ISV but makes no change. Anyone got any ideas what may be wrong?? No fault codes either!!! Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n3p 3 Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, What Corrado do you own? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, What Corrado do you own? I assume it's the vr6 judging by those readings. Any errors shown at any time? I'd check for air leaks around the inlet piping, and any errors thrown up when the idle is stuck high up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted November 21, 2007 ye sorry vr6 it is - 1994. Its not idled properly (800ish) for a few months now, today was about the first time. No faults at all have been read either. There are no air leaks - sounds like a hissing noise is coming from the isv damper box tho - culd this be scracked and causing it or is it normal??

Cheers, Andy Mine hisses badly, but my idle doesn't play up and I've not found holes in it yet. I would not be surprised if it was cracked in your case though.

andygal 0 Posted November 21, 2007 so if it was cracked could this cause high idle?? wil probably take it off tonight and have a look - cheers 4 your help!! Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted November 21, 2007 ok stripped everything down tonight, cleaned throttle body etc and the isv damper is fine!!! ISV opens when 12v applied too it. Put it back on and ran the car - high idle, unplugged it and it was idling about 500-800rpm. Measured the voltage the connector was supplying when engine running and its 1v which is not enough to power the ISV. Confused now - any help??

mattkh 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Can you hear the ISV buzzing when idling and when engine is revved ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted November 21, 2007 no no buzzingthat i was aware off Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattkh 0 Posted November 22, 2007 Hi Did you try to hear the buzing with a long netal pipe? Try another ISV from a m8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted November 22, 2007 ok anyone in Glasgow with a VR6 fancy helping me out by letting me try their ISV for 10mins or so ??? Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygal 0 Posted November 24, 2007 take it thats a no lol. when i plug the plug back into the isv, the idle shoots up again and the voltage increases from next to nothing to 6v so therefore the valve opens so it appears to be working ok. looks like its the signal that is going to the ecu which then sends the according voltage to the isv that is fault?
