southerner88 10 Posted July 12, 2013 Hi all, Done some digging around and think this is the bit that i need, could be wrong so heres what happens...... Car turns on fine, revs go up then when the revs come down to idle, she stutters. When you put your finger over a hole with a threaded inside, she sorts herself out and idles fine. Take you finger off she stutters and dies.... The hole is just below the throttle arm (i think thats what its called) the bit that has a cable from it and when pulled round the revs go up... Any help would be great to identify what im after.... can get a picture of it if that would help... Cheers for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dumptyboy 0 Posted July 12, 2013 Possibly the pipe work that does from the carbon canister to the throttle body has come loose? I'm not familiar with 1.8 engines but it might be worth a look? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southerner88 10 Posted July 13, 2013 This picture is the one with the missing bit that i think is the air adjust screw thingy, [ATTACH]75033[/ATTACH] and this is a picture of something im not so sure about... is the tube on the left in the circle the correct tube? also does any one have or have a name for the fitting to get the fans to attach to the front?

owen g60 10 Posted July 13, 2013 Yes that's your idle screw that's missing. Should be able to get one from any similar era 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dannyboy 0 Posted July 13, 2013 as owen said idle screw.there will be a small o-ring on it too,replace as its a 10p part and sorts idle problems out. Go to a scrappy and pull one out of any mk2 fuel injected golf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
