VR6king 18 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have an OBD1 VR6 that runs great except when you slown down to a full stop or turn the wheel. The idle begins to drop up and down close to shutting the car off. Any idea what could be causing this? Need this idle issue gone! Any help please?? Link to post Share on other sites
Big J 283 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Turning the wheel is putting extra load on the power steering pump, dragging your idle speed down. Just like turning on all the lights and loading up the alternator There's clearly an issue somewhere causing it to hunt under such a load, I'd be looking for possible vacuum leak, faulty idle stabilization valve. Possible MAF issue but doubtful if it runs ok above idle speed Link to post Share on other sites
VR6king 18 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes it drives fine above idle speed i doubt also its the MAF. But for sure i will take a look throughout the motor make sure their isnt any vacuum leaks. Thanks a whole lot! Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 When I bought mine it did something similar never missed a beat when driving but would sometimes hunt and stall when the revs dropped. Mine was stood for a while before I got it so I gave it a service a good run out and used a petrol treatment to clear out the lines and it ran fine after might be worth a try.

Big J 283 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Also check for shitty build up in the throttle body around the butterfly, if the breathers are still fitted as per factory and she's a high miler, could be pretty sticky in there. Link to post Share on other sites
