Car revving when pulling up to stop
« on: 04 December 2010, 10:34 »
Car is currently dropping off and on revs when coming to a standstill at junctions/lights etc.

not sure if this is just down to the weather were having. Anyone have any idea's what may be at fault?

TB is fairly clean mate, no management light but ya never know with AGU's.

will see how it is, may just be down to the weather and car needing a good run

Could be the MAF or a boost leak  :undecided:

Maf was new earlier in the year and was at R-tech just over a month ago and only leak found during the smoke test was repaired.

it'll just have to wait until weather is better so i can get somewhere to get it scanned.

you tried readapting the throttle body?

Mine was doing this after Nick had played with my map in the summer, was fine after I readapted it
