as some may know my head was fooked so i bought a new head etc fitted that along with my t4 turbo

now my only problem is the car wont idle now it will from cold but after about 5mins it just cuts out it starts back up first time and runs and drives fine but just keeps cutting out

turn the idle up the screw is at the bottom of the throttle body, its a gold colour with a 14mm lock nut on.

the reason is when its cold the idle valve is working and keeping it at idle but when it gets warm and the idle valve starts to close it wont idle

...just adjust the idle screw...ideally i like to see 1100rpm warm at tickover..keeps the oil pressure up.

See loads of idle faults at work due to dirty throttle bodies.

Hi,

Set base idle with warm engine to approx 850/900 rpm,
and if everything else is correct ie throttle switch and the iscv etc,
the tick over should be fine cold control and hot,
