Title: First signs of a problem?
Post by: Mikester on 16 February 2008, 19:06
Started car at 5 today to leave work, baring in mind it was cold. Started first time straight away as always and drove of fine, but when i dipped the clutch to turn at a junction, it seemed to drop the revs a bit of far almost to stall, then it picked them up. Just didnt feel right. Once it warmed up it was fine. Maybe im worrying about nothing. But with all these idle problems maybe it is? :S

Just didnt feel right. Im off out tonight with the lady so i shall see if it continues...... :/

There is some sort of K&N cone filter set on mine for some reason... do you think this could be helping the engine stall/cutout?

its possable...if you have an origonal unit at hand then fit it with a new panel filter and see if it makes a difference

this controls the temp gauge and sends a signal to the ecu for more fuel... ive fitted several over the years and is a common fault... :smiley:
