dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Had a delve through the search history and got various results for a couple random things my engine is doing although symptoms are recent,today tbh but felt it on the way into work and hoped that it was just me being paranoid. Basically the car,a UK corrado,has started idling high(@1200)and when driving at low speed it slightly kangaroos if im under 2k and in to high a gear. After the snow started my car was basically stuck in the street for 5 days but before starting it I double checked the coolant hadnt froze(our area 'peaked at -22)and it was fine. In all other regards it is running fine if not great,it still pulls well,dash temperature reading is fine with just the ignition on or with the engine running.The coolant and oil temps rise normally,theres no misfiring and theres no sign of any emulsification. The heaters blow hot quite soon after start up and im struggling to think off anything else that could be an indicator or relevant...The drive into and home from work was very cold today though, minus 5 on the way in and minus 3 on the way home so wasnt sure if it was possibly running with the auto choke on although cant see it as surely that will kick off when the oil and water temps rise,cant get my car vag-commed for the foreseeable but thought it was worth asking if any had any idea Link to post Share on other sites
dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 thanks for the rush of replies... spent twenty minutes under the bonnet today searching all the vac pipes and one had fallen down onto the exhaust heat shield. Replaced and rerouted ran the car up to temp and took a short drive and problem cured Link to post Share on other sites
