Title: Running a bit lumpy...
Post by: BazMV6 on 25 July 2008, 11:13:06

She's started running a bit lumpy over the last couple of days. Most noticeable in idle at 600rpm, when it'll occasionally miss a beat and almost stall.

I had the exhaust changed recently - could that be related?  Do I need to get my codes read? (Jaime - are you around this weekend??  ;) )

Idle Air Control Valve, a bosch unit ( probably) on the passenger side of the plenum. :y

Also when were breathers last cleaned ?
