Timlowthian Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Having a few issues if anyone can give me any advise The car will only start with a bit of throttle applied until it is warmed up, if you take your foot off the pedal it will bog down and stall. When the car is warmed up to temperature it is fine and can be turned off and then started again fine. It used to rev high then drop as it warms like it meant to but not any more. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 What's the idle at when cold? Is it low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yes its very low when its cold! Its about 500 Max i'd guess without checking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 And what's it when warmed up? Have you been fiddling with the throttle cable/idle adjustment at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 When warm it it sits just under 1000 fine! No I haven't been fiddling with it yet thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions on here before I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'd try the free stuff first! As mentioned check your IACV. When I took mine out for a clean a while back it was filthy. Also, check all the vacuum lines for splits/cracks or even loose ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ill get out and check the IACV this weekend and give it all a clean along with checking all the lines out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
