cut out
« on: 13 December 2011, 18:59 »
hiya all,
just a quick one my mk2 gti 1991 8v is struggling on idle and sometimes when i approach say a rundabout or traffic lights it sometimes cuts out but then i re start it idles ok then may struggle, i am going t change the maf unit, the blue temp sender, the idle valve and i think that should cure it, was just wondering if anyone else agreed or had any other ideas?
any ideas most welcome
cheers guys.

Check the idle switch too. Do a search on here for how to set it. To check that it is working is dead easy, don't even need the car running.

I suggest you only change one thing at a time otherwise you won't know what fixed it???
