Last couple of mornings, it has had the same issues. Engine runs lovely otherwise, but just will not idle well.
It is the same even when the car is up to temperature and warm now. It doesn't always cut out or stall when warm, but revs do hunt and dip down to 500 then come up to 1000 constantly.
I am wondering if the blow on the exhaust also has something to do with this. I had a look under the car and you can visibly see the blow when started from cold, right on the join between the cat and the centre box. Wonder if this is throwing Lambda out or something? Will be going into garage on Friday for a few other things, so will get them to look at this too. Knowing my luck it will need a new cat and/or lambda!
Anyway, have another known working ICV and MAP sensor on the way, so will fit both of those. Green temp sensor already been changed so I know it isn't that.
If the ICV and MAP sensor don't sort it out, it has to be an issue with Lambda?
Have unplugged blue PAS sensor and it still cut straight out and would not idle, so I don't think it is this either (few people suggested these cause problems with the idle).
I have learnt to drive the car how it is when cold for now. If I approach a set of lights and just dip the clutch, it will stall. If I approach and dip the clutch, but hit the accelerator a couple of times just to increase the revs, then it seems to almost settle at 1,000 first and then fall to 500. Then it will just constantly hunt between 500 and 1,000 and occasionally it will stall instead.
Hope to get this sorted soon, as it is making me want to set fire to what is otherwise a very tidy and sweet running motor!
Cheers guys.
