weird Golf GTi 16v
« on: 25 April 2006, 09:01 »
Hi All

Well got in the car last night after training started fine took my foot off the gas and the revs drop and the car dieÂ’s after about 5-6 goes it holds on about 600rpm so I look under the hood check all the HT leads are in O.K then IÂ’m just standing there looking at it and the revs go back to normal, weird! Got in the car this morning same thing but this time I just drove off got about 200metres down the road and pulled over all fine.

Has anyone got any ideas? :sad: :sad:

Could be something to do with the choke? :wink:

I have a MK2 golf GTI 16v 1990. :grin: :grin:

Cheers

Lee

sounds like the ISV is not working, or its losing its signal from the sender.

feel the ISV with the ignition on. you should feel it vibrating/buzzing

also check the sender on the side of the head beside the water outlet (just below dizzy). make sure the connecter has a tight fit. its the one with the green/red wire
