tickover problem
« on: 27 February 2010, 21:44:11 »
Having just done all the breathers i now have a slight problem with my idling on my 3.2.
Once it has warmed up the tickover varies around 400 up to 6oo, not sure what to check or even clean next, anybody got any ideas.
Oh i have no fault codes, which is a first :y

Erratic idle on the DBW lumps is normally due to airleaks. Run the engine at idle then lightly spay carb cleaner in the vicinity of the vac pipes, any change in the engine idle, you`ve found the leak. Start with the cheapest and easiest test first :y
