Hunting and stalling....!
« on: 21 October 2008, 13:08 »
Ever since the timing, leads and coil has been replaced the car sometimes stalls when the revs drop between changing gears. The other problem is that the car seems sometimes hunts when hot sitting in traffic or standstill.....

Can any1 please help.... I have checked for vacume leaks and the only outcome was the air intake pipe going onto the throttle body has is slightly split where the jubilee clip sits...

Anyw suggestions...

Thanks

I'd check the ISV. Some ppl will alter the timing slightly to compensate for this being broken.

I have checked the ISV, by removing the pipe going to the main intake and the car cuts out, which means the ISV is running if i am not wrong...

It only happens when the car is warm.... funny one that...

give the ISV a nice clean with petrol. let it soak overnight in petrl then in the morning give it a clean with a small brush or something.

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

Hey....

Sorry about the late reply... been working out of London....!

The ISV is new and checked if it is working, by remoding the rubber pipe leading from it to the air intake pipe and it cuts out and the ISV starts buzzing, which is an indication sign that it works....

Chris you mentioned the flying saucer grommet. Where is that? sorry for being a dumb nut...lol

Thanks mate... :wink:
