Title: Gf's 1.8 n/a revs a bit strange...... Idol controll valve???
Post by: rio_gti on 26 February 2012, 22:30

So wen you blip the throttle as u let go it bounces up a few more revs (when changing gear the revs dont drop instantly, they bounce up a touch), also as you pull away if you don't use enough revs it drops right down (like its gonna stall) someone said it could be the idol controll valve just wanted to know If anyone else has experienced this??

On idol there is NO hunting revs it idols absolutely fine   :undecided:
