Can anyone help mg zr
« on: 24 October 2009, 17:06:19 »
On idle it is all over the place and when reved it doesnt come down as quick as it should. Also some times it will rev up to 3k on idle and back down and some times cuts out. Any ideas????

Agree :y take a can of carb cleaner and spray a small amount on each area, the revs will rise with the alcahol in the spray. You'll soon find it :y
