Title: Acceleration flat spot ANY HELP PLEASE
Post by: STAVROS MOONIE on 17 November 2009, 23:25:52

Hi,could anybody please help with a slight glitch with my Mig 2.5 auto.When first setting off in drive or reverse the car stalls & when in neutral if I floor it revs drop suddenly and then more often than not engine dies.

Other than that the car runs as sweet as a nut.

Not so much of a problem most of the time but very dangerous on roundabouts as it launches three feet onto the roundabout and then stalls in drive  :(Any ideas please

Give the ICV a good clean(use carb cleaner,let it dry then put a few drops of 3in1 oil on the valve but don't poke the valve with anything metal and damage it)and if it's not been done for a while, the breather system as well, but the stalling will /should stop if you clean the ICV.

 Look in the maintenance section for how to clean the breather system :y.
