im back, long time no see,99 plate pug 306 xsi
runs and idles fine most of the time....i think (not sure anymore what a normal idle is)
sometimes when sitting still or coming to a stop, it will pick an idle of between 1200 and 1500rpm
sometimes it sits back down to 900.....sometimes even 800.
sometimes it sits down to 800 then bounces up to 900 and sits there.
its weird as when it sits down to 800, it feels like my previous gti6s having the above/similar problems and its about to stall.......
but it never stalls, it idles real nice/smooth/quiet at 800 :S (i can imagine it uses less fuel too)
ive also noticed if it is sitting at a high 1200-1500 rpm on idle, turning the engine off and on again usually fixes it (back down to 900rpm).
my guesses are icv and maybe the map sensor, internet also says try unplugging the PAS sensor but i cant see where it is to unplug.
few questions
1. any other sensors worth checking?
2. where should my PAS sensor be to unplug and eliminate that from the problem sensor list?
3. what should my idle rpms actually be? 800 or 900?
4. anything else worth trying if the above fails?
