Rossco 0 Posted April 21, 2004 Ok this is a query regarding a MK2 golf but as the lumps the same i though some of you guys out there can help. The car starts fine from cold idles at about 1100rpm for a while(5th injector) the it slows down to about 900, a blip of the throttle and it splutters a bit then the revs sit at 500-750 any slight revving and it splutters. i thought it might have been cos it was cold but even at 80 degrees it still splutters. I took it out for a drive and its quick when it gets going but at low revs its just mingin then when i got home the revs dropped to about 200 and then it died, took a few turns to get it to fire again and it was still runnin like a sack of shit. Changed the isv(checked it and can hear it buzzing) checked connections all seem to be fine. Tried to adjust the idle speed with the screw on the throttle body but no avail. BUT there does seem to be an air leak comming from around the metering unit or near the throttle body somewhere in that area, i imagine this is whats causing it to run bad but i cant find anything wrong. Any ideas guys?? :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted April 21, 2004 Could try looking here mate, my pipe was push fitted with no clip, after taking the cams off etc and re-fitting it all, and my engine barely ran as a result. Ran so badly I thought i'd done something terminal to the engine whilst refitting cams etc. :( Refitted pipe with a clip, and totally sorted it...worth a look. By the way it didn't sound like it was leaking at all from there before i put the clip on, 16v seems very sensitive to air leaks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
