doesn't feel or sound like its running on three but I will have to check, thanks Is there anything else I could check? why would the revs be sitting so low?

I've checked them all changed the coil, all appear fine? No air leaks either.. doesn't do it all the time, only after starting, and intermittent during.

Hi, been having a few idle problems with my clio 182, Very low idle speed and when driving feels like its running out of fuel when accelerating? Pre-cat lamba appears to be ok (recently changed) and have checked all injectors which appear fine. Any ideas?

Still having issues! will not idle properly unless i unplug the lambda pre cat?? Both my lambdas are brand new...

Just been underneath and unplugged the pre cat lambda.. This appears to have stabilised the idle but im sure its not the source of the problem as both mine are brand new.. Any ideas people?

Just cleaned the throttle body to make sure there are no air leaks.. the car now starts, idles at around 1K for about 1 minute before the revs very very slowly drop until the engine cuts out? :S Also has massive hasitation on acceleration then a sudden burst of power..............? I put my foot...

Hi, Thanks.. just checked and unpluging them one by one makes a difference on all four. When i start the car the revs sit at 1K then after about 30 seconds fall to around 0.4?

I have been having low idle rough runing problems with my much loved 182... Heres what ive done so far... Changed both Lambdas for new bosch ones.. cleared codes. etc Checked CAT New MAP sensor New Injectors New TDC sensor New Coolent sensor New air sensor New plugs New ign Pack New leads...

Does your power steering work?

Thanks...... Mine idles rough but recently when cold drops to 0.5 and starts to stutter/cut out before the revs rise...

Hi, Having a few problems with low idle :(.. seems best thing to start with is a good clean of the throttle body... Any suggestions where to start? Also do 182s have a idle control valve? ........ Oh and ive noticed a slightly broken clip at the back of the inlet manifold.. its black and...

To be honest you need to find the source of the noise and smoke.. I had a simular problem before which turned out to be the air con pump pulley starting to seize up and burning the Aux belt... good luck!

Could you see where the smoke was coming from?

You can get the 'stretchable' gaiters that will save you taking the shaft out??

What car? Sounds like a pulley/belt.....
