16v Idle speed

[Judderi]

My idle is currently far too high. However my idle screw is fully wound in and is not leaking. Is there any other way of setting the idle speed?

Hmm i have trouble with mine too and it always seems either too high or too low. If i wind the screw in too far it stalls though so could yours be jamming or is it running too rich?

After starting cold mine also revs up and down for about 20secs before settling down- do you reckon its a WUR problem? Ive seen a diagram of how they work (made no sense ) and not sure whether to get it modded.

if the idle screw is wound right it then there is an air leak somewhere

with it sitting on idle, spray wd40 down in round the injectors. if the engine note changes then your seals need replaced.

Turns out it was the idle switch. i.e the electrical switch on the throttle. My switch is faulty so the ecu never knows when the cars supposed to be idling.

Had exactly the same problem with my 8v runing the digifant system

New switch on the way from RubJonny.....I checked everything, on the plus side I have a new ISV and temp seder in the car now....not such a bad thing
