Whats causing my rough idle..
« on: 22 July 2007, 14:53:26 »

Just done breathers, IACV, breather pipes, plenum, throttle bodies and all that Jazz..

Done it 5 times before on rough vauxhalls - every time it has the desired effect ( rock steady idle) so i know what i am doing here  :y

still have slight flctuation on mine....got to say - Bit like Broocies at the lakes everything was pretty much spot on and clean / clear..

So i wasnt surprised when on restart it was exactly the same TheBoy you heard this MV6 at laes so you will know what i am talking about at idle....the revs fluctuate by the width of the 500rpm dash on rev counter....must be 50 revs or so of a fluctuation....

Ive checked, rechecked, torqued everything, checked all cables etc and nothing is amiss.

Also no fuel consumption issues, no acceleration issues at any point and no starting issues.....just that 10% idle fluctuation...

thoughts?

My revs do go up with air con and fuel use increases from 0.2 to 0.3 mph at idle.  Mine ran odd for a while and then sorted itself out - I blamed the throttle butterfly.  Does sound like an air leak somewhere. :(

Hi,

in my idle problem throttle potentiometer solved the problem..May be this will help..

Also I remember somewhere else I read old lambda sensors cam make small fluctuations..

PS: Blocked EGR also effect the idle from time to time..

Blanking the EGR certainly smoothed the idle on my wife's 2.5.
Does it start without opening the throttle? cam sensor fixed that one.
