scarlett 0 Posted May 17, 2005 just picked the C up from the garage after having a new rotor arm and lambda sensor fitted to solve the previous problems we were having. drove away from the garage and she was fantastic...... until i got to the roundabout outside my work, when i put her into 2nd and slowed down she cut out, tried to start her again and she took a good 30 seconds for the engine to catch and start. got to carpark and again as soon as i slowed and the revs dropped she cut out, had to restart her 5 times just to get her in a parking space!!!! any suggestions??? have tried calling the garage but there not answering!!

chrishill 0 Posted May 17, 2005 what else did you have replaced before it went to the garage? did you do the leads and plugs or anything else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 17, 2005 Sounds like the idle valve to me.... Weclome to Corrado ownership. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted May 17, 2005 nope - nothing else done but the sensor and the rotor arm, the garage did say they had checked the plugs etc yesterday and hed thought they were ok...... :cry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Because it was so sudden it sounds like an air leak to me. Has one of the pipes come off? Have look over the engine and make sure all the air pipes are still connected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Yeah, I'm thinking it might well be the ISV too, but I don't know where they're located on the valvers, sorry! :oops: Though Jay has a point with the sudden-ness of it pointing to a vacuum pipe having come off...

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 17, 2005 It sits above the dizzy, so if they've been in there changing a rotor arm, then they might have disturbed the ISV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted May 17, 2005 ok... now the big question, i am gonna have to check this myself at lunch, anyone got a pic or a sure fire way of describing it so i can actually find the ISV and check it??? sorry but am a girl, were not meant to be mechanical!!! :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
