Graham_E 0 Posted July 31, 2004 ive had my corrado about 3 weeks now and very please with it i am too, but just recently when im comin up to a set of lights or coming off the the motorway down a sliproad it stalls when i get near stopping, looking through other topics on here im pretty sure it could be the ISV that needs cleaning or replacing only problem is i dont know what or where this is...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

tonytiger 0 Posted August 1, 2004 I'm sure there's a pdf file (or at least a link to it) on this forum already which details what to do, but damned if I can find it. As I've already tried this procedure on my VR (but it didn't make any difference) I have the instructions, which I've attached. (If there is a link already somewhere, perhaps on of the Mods would be kind enough to edit this post for me :) ) Note, there are 2 'star-type' screws which hold the rear plug lead guide in place - you'll need an 8mm spline key to remove them (Halfords sell them if you don't have any). If cleaning the ISV doesn't help, it could still be the ISV at fault but there are many other things it could be too. You could check the vacuum system for leaks and the throttle damper (dashpot). Changed the dashpot on mine as the old was worn out, but it still didn't help. Think Kevhaywire's the best person to ask about this if cleaning the ISV doesn't help, as he seems to have changed nearly everything that could cause the stalling! Not sure if his is fixed or not now though. The other thing I would suggest is trying VAGCOM to see if there are any logged faults (if you haven't already). For me, this stalling problem is the worst thing about VR6 ownership and if I can't fix it in the next few months I'll have to seriously think about selling - it really spoils the experience. :( Good luck with yours!

vr6storm 0 Posted August 1, 2004 always worthwhile checking to see if the fuses are securely fitted and likewise the relays too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
