steupton 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Does anyone have this problem? when the car is warming up it runs sweet as a nut. but when the cars warm the idle rises and dips. when im driving the car sometimes will nearly stall when im comming to a stop. to be honest it dosnt happen all the time. i thought this might be due to the air sensor sending to much air through or a leak, but all has been checked. is there anything else to try and help this idle problem. cheers.

Bruceybaby 0 Posted January 18, 2010 There is a guide somewhere to cleaning this out i believe. Had this problem on my old valver and i actualy just hit it really hard.

easypops 8 Posted January 19, 2010 Yes and Yes It could be sticking and its easy to remove , replace. Undo the 2 pipes front and back and take off the electrical plug, and i think it just sits inside a rubber ring thing and just slides out.......its really easy , you see when you start.........once off spray brake cleaner into it and give it a good shake and you'll see black stuff coming out.........when i did mine on my old valver i filled it up , clingfilmed it and left it over night........then tale a thin screwdriver and make sure the sprung plunger inside moves freely.......add a couple of drops of oil to lubricate(i used 3in1)......and refit.......job done :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
