mk3 gti 2.0l golf wont idle
« on: 20 April 2008, 18:22 »
hello im having a problem with my mk3 golf the car starts ok and while there is presure on throttle pedal it runs ok to but as soon as the throttle pedal is let go it cuts straight out, i have removed throttle body and cleaned out, i have replaced all breather pipes i can see except one which disapears into bulk head, (please note that one of the pipes was blocked solid). the person i bought it of had a induction kit on which i took of, also not sure if this is connected but a blue plastic peg has risen out of lid of brake fluid resiviour.

is there anything else i should check i thought it might be the ISV but after discovering price i really need to be sure. also car has been on my drive and has only been started 3 times in 7 months as i have been out of country.

I have the same problem at the moment with the missuis mk3, does yours do it just when it is cold eg first thing in the morning or all the time? When hers has warmed up its ok it seems like the auto choke is not cutting in but i don't know where it is to look at it.
