Default problem with iddle

when i try to abjust rpm below 1300 at iddle from basic iddle screw the engine start to vibrate and dont work good. On cold engite it has vibration and very strong air leak from exaust smelling gasoline. Where is my problem
spark plugs or cables or another thing. I was with pts stage 3 chip and there is no this problem, but now i replace it with msd stage 3 non closed loop and the problem starts ? but yesterday i return the pts stage 3 and engine work at the same bad way as with msd stage 3 chip ?

i would check your system for air leaks; is the screw in on the throttle body OK?

The air leak can cause this problem if on the exhaust side.

I'm assuming you are turning the idle screw with the ISCV (Idle Speed Control Valve) disconnected.

I also assume you're doing it when the engine is up to temperature and not on cold start.

Take out the ISCV and thoroughly spray it with electrical contact cleaner. Push the plunger in and out a few times and clean it all out. Also, check the throttle body airways that the ISCV feeds air to and make sure they are clear.

That's the extent of my knowledge. Aside from that, others may be able to suggest things like throttle position sensor may need adjusting etc?

Maybe try checking your ECU for fault codes.

Hope this helps!

It's not clearing the codes. You can read if there are any faults with sensors on your car. The ECU has a self check mode.

You can make a small rig up to read the codes for a few pennys. Go to www.bigturbo.co.uk and it tells you under 'fault codes' how to check and read them.

Then, if you have any faults, you can fix them from there.
