Title: mk3 golf gti idle problems
Post by: Chief ka kar on 02 June 2009, 11:28

Can anyone help me. Am having idle problems with my 2.0 8v golf gti 1997 it starts ok and idles fine but if i set off then come to a stop the car just cuts out, but i have noticed if i drop the revs down slowly before coming to a stop its fine but if the revs drop quickly then the car cuts out.
I have just serviced the car myself spark plugs, rotor arm dizzy cap, new coil pack etc. Just to see if this helps but no joy. So if anyone can direct me in the right place i would be most grateful

Common problem and has been posted lots of times.

Clean out the throttle body as a start.
