g60 engine constant haunting on idle

Recommended Posts

As above see attached video

 

my put my car away for the winter but i start it generally once a week and let it idle until it reaches temp around 80 - 90oC

Before i put it away for the winter i give it the usual oil change etc. In the days prior to this i did notice it did not like cold starts- it would start and after several seconds it would stall but another attempt it was all fine and settled to constant idle 

However this afternoon the above happened and i left the car for 10 mins and upon returning the car haunting / idleing as per video (sorry no noise) between 1000 - 1500 revs

Stopping and restarting the car made no difference 

i disconnected the blue temp sensor made no difference

any ideas where to begin

sorry it will not let me upload the video - i 48,83MB max - 

Strange thing is that if i just touch the accelerator the car will rev like never before - the slightest touch and the car will rev to 4500 revs and beyond.

Thanks

got this sorted checked the usual and found a loose jubilee clip on the intercooler pipework - now a nice even idle 

A rare easy fix for a corrado
