Suprasteve Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The misses car is a manual 2.0 V6 (non mivec). 1994 model. I think its a GR spec ? she got home from work today and complained that everytime she put her foot on the clutch it cut out. If you turn the key it starts up revs to about 3,000 rpm then dies. I can keep from cutting out if i push on the accelerator pedal but soon as i let go it stools. I flipped the bonnet up, stared at the engine for 2 mins before rubbing my chin and shutting it again. I will check/clean the following: Already checked petrol and has half a tank Check for popped off / split pipes Clean the air flow sensor Check spark plugs Please list a few other things for me to check. Is there simply a screw i can turn to speed the tick over up ? HELP PLEASE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 It could be the stepper motor. Seems to be a common problem with FTOs Have a read here if you can. Have you disconnected the battery at any time atall? I may be pointing you in the wrong direction but its worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Thanks Sebrina I thought you might be the first to answer. I read that link and it seems like all the symptoms point at either a dirty or knackered "stepper motor" whatever that is. Don't suppose you have you have a photo of the engine bay with a big arrow pointing at it so i know what to check do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I remember reading somewhere you can pick up a steppermotor for about £80-£90. Try Camskill or I can PM ricerocket [resident second hand guru] from the FTO forum if you like. Also check out these regular FTO diy pages stepper motor diy fto No photos but I will see if I can get hold of one....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest matt_s_r Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 there is a screw on the throttle body with a nut on it all you have to do is screw it in to increace the revs at tickover i baught an fto last week had the same problem this is all i had to do to solve it the fto should tickover at 900-950 rpm this is definately the first thing you should try the screw is located on the throttle body below and behind where the throttle cable gos into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
