Jk* 0 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Um, i have a leaky breather pipe @ the moment which has meant my car is over fueling and what appears to be idling high. Not as high as yours though. Mine idles between 600rpm and 800rpm though...good luck with it as youll be using as much if not more fuel than me! Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 right tonite ive found wot the prob is on my car.i thought it was the idle speed valve, so i replaced it, no joy!! checked for air leaks.apparently u should be able to hear the idle speed valve click when u turn ignition on, but mine doesnt, so i connected it straight to the battery and it does? so the problem is the wires going to it? i think one is a permanent live and the other a switchable earth from the ecu? can any one help or got any wiring diagrams?thanks peeps....

gav_113 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 checked the wires from idle speed valve today to the ECU, found nothing wrong with them?? so im thinking it could be to do with the ECU now? ill try my mates 2moz? anyone got any other ideas??

Russ_vr6 12 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 one idea mate,try cleaning up all the wiring becausr if any moisture gets in it can do untold damage,we have just replaced half the engine loom at work on a corrado v coz of water,worth checkin?
