Stall at idle... sometimes
« on: 16 July 2008, 19:52:25 »

Hi folks... Recently cleaned breathers throttle body. Have since re done making sure no mistakes... cannot see any. when idleing the car will give 200-800rpm, sometimes stalling if in park or neutral. Did not have this before. The EML comes on and goes off periodically too.

Cannot see any irregularities with what I have done, have re-checked, and got a vx mechanic to have a gander (for what its worth!) he could not see anything out of the ordinary either.

Any advice folks ??

Old favourite of H21.....On the off chance its sucking in air - long shot with that sort of variation - spray some carb cleaner on the various hoses and pipes that you have had off, and also on plenum top etc.

if the carb cleaner evaporates pronto then you have an air leak....

I still suspect iacv / connection...
