Longy Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 It's also hard to restart when it cuts out - almost like its flooded itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxydiver Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Hi, I have a bit of info on the old bad idle from cold front ! Basically it is down to the rubbish design of the crankcase ventilation system, there is a small PCV valve in the oil seperator part No. 6442259 £2.42 ! this valve has an annoying habit of jamming open when its very cold, letting far to much crankcase gas into the inlet manifold, this has two effects, first it coats the idle control valve in black sludge deposits, jamming it up. this is 50% of the problem, secondly, the excess crankcase gas leans off the mixture so much at idle the ECU goes bonkers, this either causes a stall or the revs shoot up to 2000 rpm and stay there! mmm nice ! I have cleaned out the idle valve and inlet manifold, changed the PCV valve, and shes been an angel the past 15k miles, hope this helps. jinxy.
