Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted August 29, 2007 air intake, throttle body, sad and all associated pipework would be my first point of call. is the butterfly coming back and resting on the stop every time? is the throttlebody and air bleed screw ,air bleed ducts spotlessly clean? all you're breathers, sad piping are in one piece and clean etc? is there sufficient slack in the throttle cable to allow it to come back to its rest every time? pinching the pipework to the sad should stall or drop the revs when the car is cold. when the engine is hot pinching the pipe should have no effect .this will fault find the sad all this is assuming you have a standard 1.6/1.9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted August 29, 2007 ok, i've just seen youre avatar. you're problem is most certainly a worn throttle linkage on the throttle body (if youre using the standard induction!). these twin throttle bodies tend to wear out the linkage to the bottom butterfly . this play normally results in random idle rpm's Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5150maxie 0 Posted September 13, 2007 worn throttle linkage on the throttle body can you get new part for this? i have just tighened the 13mm nut that holds the main linkage because it was slighty loose so there is the worn linkage sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
