idling mistery
« on: 07 May 2009, 17:39:09 »
Hi all,
here's the thing my recently bought elite 2.5 auto 1999 (mini-facelift) is idling a bit poorly, any advice?
i'm a bit handy with tools but no mechanic, especially on this all gizmos car :)
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

A look through the maintenance guides would be good, loads of info there. IACV is the cylindrical thing at the top on the passenger side of the engine, spray loads of carb cleaner in there and give  it a good shake, repeat till cleaner comes out clean.
There are various thin plastic vacuum pipes around the engine bay opperating various things, make sure they're all plugged in & not split.
