Problems still!!



  Clio 172
Now I've recently bought this 172 that idles rough , and occasionally cuts out . The idle is very sporadic and feels like a misfire slightly. However the car pulls very hard through the rev range . The previous owner (friend) had been told the vehicle had uprated cams in and that's why it runs like this, my only worry is that if it has had cams has it been timed correctly . I have no history for the belt change except one about 30k ago . Also no proof of cams fitted . I think that there is potentially another issue with the car . Anyone got any ideas ? No codes in the car either. I have tried cleaning the throttle. But that was spotless , also cleaned the crank sensor and the map sensor. I would appreciate any advice on this, I'm thinking maybe try a coilpack next , but don't want to be throwing bits at it without any knowledge of the common problems first . I have done a search but found so much contradicting arguments so thought if post a thread .
Cheers

Hi the throttle is usually the culprit with rough idle,but if its ok it prob has timing wrong or bigger cams fitted so best thing go to nearest specialist on here and get it checked out mate

It is an electronic throttle though , so I'm wondering if there is any routine to calibrate the throttle ?

get it to someone on here m8 whos not far from u
If anyone could advise me on things to check though I'm capable of checking these things myself , really pissing me off cos it's a quick car once it gets going , just runs rough as at idle.

Your not talking rough when cold are you? As the cold map on these is horrible at times.

No mate it runs rough from cold , but when warm will cut out even at idle . Temp gauge works fine . According to last owner it has cat cams fitted .
