timthetinyhorse 0 Posted November 24, 2008 iv recently been having a few problems with my 2.0l 16v with regard to idoling when in traffic and at cold start, its a 9A engine and all is fine under normal working conditions but when started in the cold its idoling at about 2k as aposed to the 1200 it used to and when sitting in traffic its fine for about 15min uintill it begins to get warm then the revs begin to drop through the floor requiring light throtal inputs to keep it ticking over, i have been informed that it could be a faulty idoler valve? Could this be the case and if so can someone point me in the right direction as to where this is located on the engine? If this is not the case what else could be causing me this problem? cheers in advance rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted November 24, 2008 Here you go mate.......its only a couple of jubilee clips and an electrical connector to remove......once you have it off give it a good clean out with brake/carb cleaner or petrol or lighter fluid and poke a slim screwdriver in to make sure the springy thing inside is moving. Also plenty of other potential causes , most have been well covered......try a wee read through this viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62564 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
