Title: Is it the ISV or is it not????
Post by: dan7 on 05 May 2009, 17:01
Over the last few days, my 1990 1.8 totally standard KR has developed a problem. Cold starting is very troublesome. VERY lumpy idle, but clears after about 3k, parked up. If I drive it, it jolts and kangaroos like fcuk! After about 5 mins of driving on the bypass, it warms up and drives and idles perfectly! If this was the ISV, would it idle after warm up? I left it for 10 mins and restarted it, and it idled fine! But after 4 hours, lumpy idle again! Also, using buckets of fuel whilst in this state! Any advice please guys?

do the revs change when you unplug the isv? also what conditiona re all the breathers like around the isv? i cleaned mine all out and runs great now.

one other thing do the revs change when you unplug the blue ecu temp sender?

that wont be the isv, more likely the wur/5th injector

That was what i was fearing!!!!! Having a look after my bangers n mash. Let you know how I get on. Btw, could anybody describe the WUR for me, bit unsure tbh! Is it the fist sized thing bolted to the front of the block?

i had a similar issue but not quite as bad, i disconnected the wur and that sorted it.  probably down to the idle mixture being off, but siojce car was coming off the road soon anyway i never bothered to look into it any closer!

similar issue a while back on a valver. Lumpy idle and would cut off and not start again! Was the cold start value or WUR.

Just out of interest, what's actually inside the WUR??
