A Few Problems

[stevie_172]

Just bought my 172 and already theres a few problems...

1. The Idle Control is sitting about 1,500 - 2,000 revs, especially when its ticking over. Any ideas on the problem?

2. My steering is all over the place, especially when I turn the steering to the left. My thoughts are the wheels aint been balanced correctly? Or maybe need new wheel bearings? not sure.

Any help would be ideal :approve:

What is the temp gauge showing?? If abnormal jumping up and down, could be that causing your high idle speed??

Try tracking for steering problems first could be that? depends exactly what its doing.

Thanks,
