Low idle

[jamesd1263]

Car has just developed this!
I've Searched for similar faults but found nothing of use.

Car just idles like a sack of crap! Blip the throttle and let off and it can sometimes drop too 300rpm..
Did cut out twice this morning. It drive fine and idles fine if u hold it at 1000rpm.

Thinking either idle control valver or lambda sensor!
Anything else it could be?

once its warmed up does it idle ok then? does it sound rough when you start it up from cold?

clean out throttle body

Nah apart from lumpy (dues to shoddy low idle) it sounds fine
It does do it when warm aswell

Just went for a drive and 3 times when I dipped the clutch it cut out!

Blew out a few sensors and now the car has an idle between 1500 and 2000 rpm
Poxy thing

idle control valve sounds shafted.

 

[jamesd1263]

Thought as much... I'll give it a good clean until I can source new one

 

[jamesd1263]

Fitted a new idle control valve and cleared the error code!!

Was then running fine. But it's back again and it seems to be happening when it's damp/wet

Have you cleaned the throttle body?

 

[jamesd1263]

Yea, lambda??
