hi i have had this prob with my 1989 efi 3i cabriolet, every time i depress the clutch (eg junctions) the revs drop to a bout 500 rpm before either a) pick up to normal idle speeds or b) stalls.

in order to solve probs i have fitted another ISCV, CO2 pot, inlet gasket, head gasket (see below)

i swapped the head gasket because she was chuffing out white smoke even after driving for an hour or so (when removed head seemed old gasket looked fine), yet it seems both the smoke and stalling probs are there

any ideas???

also, what should turning the screw on the co2 pot do, as turning mine on both the old and new (well off a smashed 2i) co2 pots does nothing...

any help would be good

try replacing yourfuel filter if it is clogged u could be starving your eninr of fuel

also check for vacuum leaks around the inlet manafold, if there is a leak you may be able to hear a sucking sound for a few seconds after the car is switched off

clean out the flap on the bit saying efi that opens when u put foot on peddle you need to take off air box pipework to get to it dont no what its called use some carb cleaner in a can or any other de choke stuff as its proberlly sticking as i had same prob on my old efi 2i i had

u mean the throttle butterfly? the flap that allows air in? changed inlet gasket so no leak there, but will try the fuel filter next time i get paid, i did change the air filter and that was really manky so i guess the people before me never serviced it! ah well its had some tlc the last few months lol
