VR6 eratic idle

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Jumped into the Storm two days ago and started no problem. Idle speed was very high(ish) 2-3K and stayed there until warmed up(after a run).

Jumped into the Storm earlier today for the school run and started no problem but, idle revs were very eratic, constantly revving between 1K and 1.5K. Press the throttle to give approx 2K and the revs hold there no problem, no hunting at all. Take foot off though and hunting begins again. All seems OK when warmed up though......Any ideas please? Maybe has nothing to do with it but sometimes stalls coming to a rest at junctions and the like, not sure if this is linked at all to the above?

 

By the way, I have Griffith 500 which also suffers from high idle speed cold or hot(stays at around 2K even when changing gear) if left to idle eventually :sleeping: comes back down to normal, thrttle cable etc all fine, again any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'd advise you have a look on the search! :) Idle issues come up ALL of the time so you can probably find lots of information on this through the search...

 

But as a starter for ten, I'd suggest you either need to clean or source a replacement Idle Stabilisation Valve :)

Hi Chap,

 

Do a search for ISV and/or ISV cleaning, its very common and there is loads of info on here about how to solve it :)
