Stalling - 8v
« on: 30 August 2005, 19:27 »
Hi Guys

Having some more probs with my 8v.. Not fitted new engine yet, still in the process of having the old one rebuilt.

Ok so stall.. the car doesnt idle, it seems to drop the rpm below 1000 and then jump right up to like 2k, then falls again to like 500 and shoots back  up again. when im driving and pull up to some lights, i push the clutch in the rerves die, and it stalls, goes well below 100..

Any ideas?

Cheers

Knobby!

Check the idle switch under the throttle body makes a distinct click when the throttle is closed, then clean out the ISV :)

Other things to look at are the blue temp sender, and clean up all your engine earths and the ECU pins * plug
