Engine idles erratically, please help
« on: 21 November 2008, 17:55:11 »

My 98 R reg omega Idles very rough. (and stutters)

Once i reach 60-80 mph it also stars to judder but that seems to go if i put my foot down and drop a gear (kickdown)

I have replaced he coil pack, plugs, cleaned all breathers etc.

Nothing shows up on diagnostics.

Its a lovely car but I feel like driving it off the nearist bridge.

Please help.

Thanks

the idling could be due to the icv (does it do it when warm or cold? )
also have the cleaner out the breather box thing at the rear of the drivers side cylinder bank?

giving your icv a good cleaning out with carb cleaner could do alot also when were the breathers last cleaned?

Change the o-rings under the plenum , they are very cheap and helps the idle..
