Clio RS182
Hi,
My wife's 182 had problems with regard to the idling speed being far too high, and the engine being unable to rev beyond 3,000rpm. It has been in the hands of an autoelectrician for weeks now, and I am beginning to despair! The engine will now go to high revs, having tried a throttle body swop with my own 182, and me supplying another one off e-bay. However, my wife's car did manage to rev above 3,000 for a time, before we took it in, so the throttle body being identified as the problem is still possibly incorrect. Now, the (reputable) autoelectrician has purchased a used throttle pedal, thinking that this will finally sort the very fast idle. My intuition tells me that I have been in a similar situation a couple of year's ago, and the fault was electrical in the end,- throwing replacement parts at it is usually a waste of money. Vector Sytems in Wincham, near Northwich sorted out the wiring problem then. The problem with Vector is that you have to wait weeks to get a booking. Anyway, has anyone any ideas? I am told that there are a couple of sensors on the intake system, could they be the problem. The car has a K-Tech induction kit with a sponge filter. I washed, dried and lightly oiled the filter with the correct oil two months ago, if It is too sticky with my oiling could this cause the problem? Any informed suggestions would be most welcome.
