VR6 stalls when cold

[emu 0]

Had it since I bought a car, newer bother about it as done around 30 miles sine I bought it but now it will be my daily so its time to sort it out so....

 

Car starts fine from first key turn and right after stalls. If you accelerate a bit engine will be running without problems but if you take toy feet of accelerator it stalls again. Everything happens until engine worms up, when engine is worm there is no problems at all.

 

Where to start and what to replace, please ???

clean the isv (idle stabilisation valve)

change blue temp sensor, maybe

clean airfilter

use it, they don't like being sat about

When you reconnect the battery the ecu needs to relearn it's basic settings, one of which is the idle. Have a look in the Knowledge Base there's a guide to the ECU reset procedure :)

Had many Corrado's and many times batteries went off and never had this problem but worth look anyway.

I have a vr and have exactly the same as this ain't a major problem but I start work early and getting paranoid about waking the neighbours

Bought a carb cleaner today and I'm going to fix the problem tomorrow, hopefully. Will let you know about results.

Could be all the above, but certainly sounds like classic ISV symtoms- see here for details-

Car will be serviced and all sensors will be replaced on new ones, including new isv anyway asa I will sell my allroad.
