Title: Varying Idle RPMs
Post by ADroste on May 26th, 2005, 10:39am
Dear members,

can one of you experts have a look at

http://www.anyboard.net/autos/cars/scorpio/posts/378.html

and try to find the cause for the varying RPMs during idle on my 2.3l DOHC Auto? I cleaned the MAF. This seemed to decrease the problem a little bit, but did not cure it. I checked the motor loom. But this was okay. I also could not find any leak in the air pipes. My German FMD had MOT performed. Failed because of poor gas figures. I have no details. FMD will start to search for the cause tomorrow. But I already have the impression, that similar to other FMDs, they just are able to change parts but not to find and cure a problem in motor management.

As I am a newbie, especially in OBD-2, it my be that I made mistakes when recording data. But despite I hope that someone could identify, if Lambda sensor, IACV, Cat. etc could be the cause.

Thanks for your support in advance
Regards
Armin

hi there

the .log file is missing, so it won't work :(

Sorry to contradict, but the zip-file contains:

SCORPIO1.DAT  92466 Byte
SCORPIO1.LOG  811 Byte
SCORPIO1.TXT   0 Byte
KUKI0410.DAT  504394 Byte
KUKI0410.LOG   2102 Byte
KUKI0410.TXT  42 Byte

I extracted them in a new directory and VE could display both scans without problems.

Regards
Armin

hi there

my mistake. the .log file only showed up when put in the ve folder.

on a very quick look at it, your lambda sensor isn't switching, making it go open loop. check the wiring to it.
