high idle

Recommended Posts

hi all, my 2.0 16v seems to have the same thing as a lot of others.

i know this subject has been covered many times but i havent seen the exact same symptoms as mine(apologies if there is and i missed it)

the car starts first time all the time , idles a wee bit high for a couple of secs then settles about 9

the car will run fine then but when switched off and then re-started the idle problem starts, generally quite high and a bit up and down

recently cleaned the isv with carb cleaner, soaked in petrol and oiled before re-fitting. this seemed to help but the problem has gradually returned

the car has a newish distributor, newish leads and a recently replaced throttle body.

if anyone has any thoughts that would be great

cheers martin

Does this engine use a fuel pressure regulator?

 

What about the vaccum hose up to the ECU?

 

Is there also an idle bolt on the throttle body along with micro-switches?

 

 

Keep posting! :)
