2.2 rough idle when cold
« on: 25 February 2016, 15:46:41 »
Not allways.

Seems appeared like this: i start cold engine in morning,  no problem.  I drive 60miles and go work.  After 2-4hours i start and idle goes about 1500 but then shifts 1400-1300 and is rough about 2-4seconds and then is stable 1300-1200 and  then drops normal and works fine.

I get "My Naff Code Reader" back later so i just think ask for now what can cause that? Warm engine is okay.

Now it does with cold engine : revs 2000 and then drops 1300 and swings little time and then drops normal.

And warm engine engine light appeared and code p0420.

No. Im watching coolant and oil every week because i drive about 400-600miles week.

Does it improve with the MAF sensor unplugged :-\

If yes, then you need a new MAF sensor... only buy genuine or Bosch :y

I try that.

Intake temp is ok and all values when i checked with "My Naff Code Reader".  That cold start "issue"  is gettin worser every time but its very fast so its not big problem yet.

With maf off,  it was pretty same but stumbles second just after start. 

Feels like little misfire that little roughness in cold.

Maf voltage is good also. No codes

Check the spark plugs and see what colour they are.

Plugs were fine. No marks for oil or coolant deposit and all four were identical.

Trhottlebody was very dirty and valvecover to throttlebody hose was cutted off.


When i get that little hole open in throttlebody then lets have a look.  Does someone know what size that hole is?  Wire or needle wont go thru it seems to be very dirty.

Btw cold idle roughness is gone!

Is that normal when you start on freezing temperatures,  idle revs about 2000 rpm then goes 1400 like normal?

I suspect two things, mine 2.0 4 cylinder had the same problem.
1) Idle Air Control Valve needs cleaning
2) significant vaccum leak

good luck

Ill do those checks too

Cold engine no problem but now aftee 3h stand it was little roughness again but revs was 1500 max not 2000. But idle is not that rough than before cleaning.
