out of the blue this morn started her up and rev....rev......rev......rev.....rev..... then idles perfectly, but if i touch the throttle does it agian then idles perfect????

any ideas people?????

 

i thought hunting was banned now?or is that only with dogs?

 

throttle position sensor would be my first port of call.

hth

Tricky

 

when i saw the thread title i thought you'd fitted a spear to the roof

and i also thought it was banned too

Try running it with the Cold start valve unpluged mine does the same
I just unplugged it

 

take the iscv off and give it a clean with carb cleaner,normally does the job.

 

Deffo FIRST point of call

 

Ours does it too.... always rights itself after a bit....

 

Not being funny James, but I'm really starting to hate this car of yours

 

most likely cause is base idle speed not set correctly.
unplug the idle valve, adjust the idle speed with the screw in the bottom of the throttle housing to 850-900rpm - when you plug the valve back in it shouldn't change the idle speed, if it does then the base idle is still set too low. The idle valve should only be active to maintain idle speed when there is load on the engine, eg. fans, lights, aircon etc.

 

whys that mate???? gearbox is fucking sweet as so piss off!!!


its not like ive had loads of trouble with it, ive never had a cossie before and everytime it makes an odd noise i shit myself!! this is the only place were people understand that!!! so if you hate my car fuck off and post somewhere else!!!

 

I think you misunderstood the tone of my post mate, I was having a jest with you

 

thanks for all the usefull reply people!!! could someone point me in the direction of the idle speed control valve!!! i cant find it!!!! is it normally on the airbox?? it was on my rs2000!! but theres a cone filter!!!! or am i looking in tottaly the wrong place

 

Underneath the throttle body, and a bit of a bitch to get at

 

sorry mate thought you was being funny!!!!!!!!! LOL i have just give up taking shit off people lately try to get in first!!! so i apologise!!!!

 

James you plum - I think Bernie was having a giggle

Hunting usually means yuor engine is going to explode, so if starts doing it again, switch it off, get out and run like fook.

 

hello ponster!!!!!!!!!!! ive already said im sorry to the gearboxman!!! and as far as i know hunting (in car terms) means fucking revin alright

so if you dont know how to fix it piss off!!

BTW
how ya doing me old son!!!!! is that an mr2 in your siggy??? please tell me it aint yours!!!!

 

Yep - cossie sold, and the MR2 is mine.

 

just be grateful it starts at all

 

oh dear pon!!! is it a turbo??? has your dads love of the rice rockets rubbed off on you???? what happened to the cos??? why you not finished it??


ALL THE QUESTIONS........ I NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!

 

Still not going?

I thought you had a fix for it?

 

James - cossie was too much money sat on the drive for 90% of the year.

MR2 is a turbo, is about to be stage 3 cossie fast and handles twice as well.

 

Pon, nope, still not working. will have to try with a new sensor methinks. tried ignition amp off Colas as well, but nada.

 

spose i can let you off as its a turbo!!! you say it handles twice as nice....... not too sure bout that one!!! dont deny it may handle better but not that much!!!!!!!!!

 

the valve is on top of the throttle body, the idle speed adjuster screw is on the bottom of the TB

 

Correct! Was just seeing if you were paying attention

 

Oh I am sure!

Mid engined sportscar v standard design sierra suspension?

You'd be very surprised mate, trust me!
