Post by: awallis on 09 October 2011, 18:16

My car starts first time and everytime, but is starting to hunt for a couple of minutes until its warm. revs between 800 RPM to 1700RPM. Any ideas?  

Also sometimes got a lack in power. The revs still goes up when i put my foot down but no go "/ Any ideas?
Thanks.

check all the hoses could have an air leak. clean the isv and throttle body.

if its a 8v digi then could be air leak, timing or blue temp sender or even idle set wrong, best bet check all the vacume hoses for leaks if there ok then check timing and idle :)

Blue temp sender gets my vote.

Then see what occurs...

When mine did it, was a dirty, sticky throttle body. Give it a clean out too.
