RS VR6 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Take it out and clean it along with the throttle body. See if it fixes it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted May 28, 2007 It could be, though why it would work ok after 30 secs is a bit of a mystery. For how long it would take its well worth checking and cleaning it, it is the root of lots of idling problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good stuff, a few of us have had that, the foam comes from the ISV sound deadner. It brakes up with time and heat and deposits itself in various places, wreaking havoc with idle control. Mine did it and it was like someone was in the car revving it up and down, spooky! The new sound deadners have a metal back plate to keep the heat away.
