VR6Andy 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 You need to get it plugged into a VAG fault code reader, that should identify any faults in your sensors etc and will give you the low down.I've just had mine read by a mate it showed 2 faults both down to a mucky carb, when cleaned the ECU was reset with the code reader and the Vr is tits now.I'm no expert but I believe this applies :-If a fault occurs the ECU will compensate for the fault even if is has been corrected>>>>>>>>>>>>>until the ECU is reset. So if you have had a fault with the idle control valve and even though it's now been replaced the ECU will be running as if the fault was still present.Not an expensive thing to have checked, hope it helps.

VR6 Man 0 Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 had that done at amd they found no faults.local tuning man said it was the induction kit + vsr thats upsetting the air mass sensor, so i adjusted the TB stop so that it does not close fully, this has stopped the problem and put the idle up to about 800 rpm.
