Title: Idle prob. with 24V BOA
Post by howiedintheplace on Apr 10^th, 2004, 11:36pm

???
I wonder if any one has come across this one before?

Engine starts,idles & runs fine most of the time. However anytime after the engine has warmed up it sometimes starts to idle @1500 RPM.
It does not always happen & I can clear the problem if I stop & restart the engine.
This problem seems to be now getting worse, so I need to try & fix it A.S.A.P.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Dave.

Only a guess but try cleaning your idle control valve?

Thanks for the reply Alan.

I had a look today, it turned out to be a sticky kick down cable causing the throttle not to completely shut down every now & then. Lubed it back up but then it idled rougthly?????? Reset the ECU to default & all now seems well. Just been on a 100 m run with a trailer & no problems.
