    IDLE

    I write a guide.....

    then i ****ing have a twatting bastarding idle that wont fix.

    thts swearing.

    I measured the throttle potentiometer and the
    the voltage that should be around 5.78 was 6.80.. the potentiometer has never been fiddlewith... the other 2 values are spot on
    next task is to change the throttle body/potentiometer coolant temp sensor..

    I have tried 4 iscvs all to no effect.
    2 speedo cables no effect

    what symptoms does a fooked coolant sensor pose?

    Well I changed Lambda and that sorted my surging out, my car now only stalls when its cold if I set off straight away after starting, if I hold the revs for 15 secs or so, let it off, car runs fine and dandy

    I have changed Lambda, ISCV, Coolant Temp Sensor, Map sensor so far
