Hi folks me again

Took the car on a business trip from up north here to london last week, before this trip everythign was fine.

I went down quietly to london, but noticed as i start to do stop, start traffic the car wasn't happy to idle, and also had almost a few death shakes

It pulls ok, it runs fine through the gears, the oil level is spot on.

When i start it cold it's ok to idle and warm up, but once it's warm it struggles to idle happy.

Any ideas, helpful comments, before I take to the dealer

Thanks & Regards

Idle control valve?

 

Kiwi - Try an ECU reset.

 

Is it using more fuel than normal?

Other than that click the link in my sig and have a look!

 

map sensor.. just give it a tap.. search loads of info on it.
mine did the same..

 

ECU reset all day long, then if the problem is still there, IAV carbon build up.

 

We could list dozens of things that it "could" be...

Take a look in the idle thread, its all in there

 

As mentioned, it could be any number of things ! My girlfriends mum had the same problem on her '03 model and it turned out to be a faulty ECU !

Also, is the intake on the car standard still ? Could be sucking in a bit of warm air from somewhere ?

 

Thanks for the input DBM

Sorted it last night, sensor removed, ECU unplugged, then reconnected everything and took it for the ride of it's life.

Now it's all back to normal yippie

Thanks & Regards

Could have sworn I said reset the ECU
