182 revving problem

[Trev.]

From cold my car stutters back down to idle. if i rev the car to 3000rpm then press the clutch in (coast) it goes down in stages. Bounces if you like. i changed the coil pack on advice from my mechanic at the weekend but this hasnt helped, i cleaned the throttle body out with brake cleaner and that hasnt helped. There are no lights on the dash and a code reader isnt bringing up any errors.

Any ideas?

Maf sensor?

Idle Control valve?

Cheers

My guess would try try the Idle control valve, then lambda sensor. More likely to be the lambda though. Any warning lights or fault codes?

182 doesn't have a maf or an idle control valve, if i was to guess id say either lambda probe or coolant temerature sensor, but id take it somewhere for a proper diagnosis dude

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

DOH, i assumed it was a 172...

 

[Trev.]

ok my bad didnt no that about the 182!

No fault codes when i got my mate in kwik fit to put his fault code reader on it!

i just want it fixed as its very annoying!

On another note, a few times recently when the cars been warm and ive gave it some beans and then coasted the car cuts out, it ccant hold its rev for a few minutes.....then suddenly its fine!

Could this be related?

If it was a ph1 id have agreed with you on that dude, i went through 4 icv's in 50,000 miles lol

is the MPG ok?

Does the temp guage read normal?

 

[Trev.]

mpg is normal. 1000miles and ive got 32.8 which for me is good.

and temp guage reads normal aswell!

im stuck for answers and so it my mechanic

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

what about plugs and leads?

i would say the mambda sensor and the coolant temp sensor will be next in line.

 

[Trev.]

plugged got changed last summer and ive done 6000miles with them...leads "look" ok but might change them anyway!

Pre cat lambda sensor happend on mine a year ago.

 

[Trev.]

spot on! thanks!

Will that cure the cutting out etc? or just the revving?
