Title: rough idle
Post by: Gaffers on 17 May 2008, 09:18:29
Had a very wierd situation last week when I tried to start the car and it failed to start on the first go, I did hear a 'pop' like one cylinder had fired and that was it...  so tried again.  On the third attempt it started but very rough idle and stalling alot.

I was thinking 'Oh poo, I have to be somewhere' quick so popped the bonnet and heard some sucking air.  'Ah ha!' I thought an air leak so started looking around checking the seals as best I could all looked ok until I noticed the ICV had popped out of the plenum!

Popped it back in and all was good and dandy...spent the afternoon 'cruising' down the Autobahn  :y

PHEW!
