Idle Probems

[James101]

Car keeps idlin up n down and its not the idle control valve, wen the car is cold it idles perfect at 1100 rpm but as soon as it warms up it goes funny i think the electronic choke is at fault n tries to cut in wen the car gets warm

[Fraz]

it dont have a choke of any sorts, could be the Water temp sensor

[calibraboy42]

Give the valve a good clean mate that should help it

[James101]

iv cleaned the valve twice, how cud it be the temp sensor

[Callyman]

Because the ECU will fuel the engine differently when it's cold and hot.

[James101]

where can i buy a temp sensor from?

You can buy a CTS (coolant temp sensor) from your local Vaux dealer, they aint expensive.

[James101]

how much u reckon m8, but i think it might be the wire that connects to the CTS as wen iv touched it the car revs like mad

[Phantom]

CTS is about £8 from your local VX dealer

also if you read the fault codes one may be logged
