When the car is warm, the idle tends to dip to about 3 / 400 rpm momentarily after blipping the throttle or dipping the clutch when braking. It hasn't stalled yet, but it feels like it's going to.

Any suggestions? ECU reset maybe?

 

Search for IACV and think that will solve that

 

Thought it was a common problem. Mine hasn't stalled either, always recovers.

 

funnily enough I've just been reading about it. Going outside now to remove and clean, will report back

 

I think ambient temperature has an effect on it too.

 

mine is scheduled for tomorrow aswell as a few other bits and pieces. hopefully it'll fix the 2nd gear jolt too. if not, it's my driving

 

See technical FAQ. Can be many things...

 

by jove, I think that's done it

I couldn't get the rubber pipes off, stuck fast they were, so I loosened the throttle cable and managed to swivel it around and give it a good clean. There is a very small valve in the which you can twist around, it was covered in soot so with cotton buds in hand and a can of WD, it's now sparkling and seems to have done the trick.

Thanks to all.

 

Woop! Glad you got it sorted!
