Constant stalling

[AdamjVR6 0]

Hi guys.

Although i fear there are many reasons for this to happen im in a bit of a predicament.

I have someone coming all the way from london today to buy the VR6 and 2 days ago it decided to stop idling around 70% of the time when i clutch in at say roundabout or junctions.

 

Naturally this wont look good on a test drive :(

 

This guy i suspect is a member here anyway as he said hed had VR6's before,anyway.

The weather is crap and i ahve no garage,so,will i get any chance of a miracle if i simply reset the ECU(disconnect battery) nd let the old girl learn again.?

 

Or is the only "quick" fix to tighten the throttle cable a little,yee haw

 

thanks in advance of all your help as this will probs be my last ever post here anyway :)

LOL, don't mess with the throttle cable, just wind the throttle stop out some more :lol:

 

If said buyer has had VR6s before, then he'll known stalling is common and notoriously tricky to trace and fix.

 

Yeah, try an ECU reset, although it will be sluggish for the first 20 mins or so of your test run ;-)

Ok,cheers,yeah i hoped that being a VR6 enthusiast he would understand.

Shame its pissing down though.

Test drive will be one long wheelspin :lol:

There should be a little slot on the end of the screw for a flat blade screwdriver mate?
