Idle on Digi
« on: 12 March 2008, 22:21 »
Ive looked into almost everything on getting my 91 Digi to idle properly but with no joy. She starts first time everytime but idles around 1k - 1,450. This happens when she is first started and will still happen when hot. Ive cleaned and checked breather pipes, cleaned icv with carb cleaner, put new plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm in but still no joy. Any help would be great.

This is only my 2nd post and ive not even had my golf for 3 days yet but i was pointed in the direction of the blue temp sensor when asking about idle problems with my 8v digifant. Have you changed that?

Errm this isn't much help but there was some sort of brown (I think) wire in the vicinity of behind the throttle body that on my car had become disconnected. Connecting it back up sorted my high idle.

No idea what it was, I'm sure someone else could tell you.

Blah!

I got the same problem mate on mine and just can't figure it out....I changed all the same as you and still idles weird some of the time.

If its the airflow meter, can it be fixed or checked to see if working correctly.

I hope an Air flow meter can be repaired, bet there loads to buy from a VW dealer. I keep thinking that its got something to do with the 'flying saucer'  I rung the VW dealer up yesterday and they want £37 for one. When i cleaned the flying saucer out with carb cleaner the other day it leaked a touch from the top. Going to go out in a mo with some tape and totally tape the top up so no air can escape/enter. Will put outcome up a bit later!

No luck with any of the vac pipes or flying saucer. I now think its either the air flow meter or the idle control valve, to which i bet neither are cheap  :sad:

have you tried the flying saucer gromet (the rubber it sits in)? this is prone to splitting.

I don't think a semi will give the same results
