wallace9 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Help please guys My car has started losing revs. Its happening when I'm coming to a stop eg. traffic lights or junction. Its actually got so low that the car has stalled a couple of times. There's no warning lights coming on. Its a 95 N/A Manual. Its been running perfectly since I got it about 5 months ago. This problem has only started in the last couple of weeks. She is due a service but only for fluid changes. Could it be the spark plugs need replacing or is it more likely to be an electrical fault? Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chumpalot Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Perhaps start with the IACV maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadburys Purple Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Same fault here but if when i switch the engine off and re-start the problem goes away?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djskeme Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Funnily enough mine has done this twice. First time was when I got it...didnt realise it needed super unleaded, and was running it on unleaded for about a tank...and it started....as soon as i put super in it....worked perfectly. Has done since until last week...just before i went away on holiday the orange low oil light popped up....and next time i started the car it was running like shite. I started it up today after holiday, and it wasnt quite as bad.....didnt stall, but still very irratic idling, so i filled it up with some expensive oil....and now its running nicer than it ever has If its due an oil change, that might fix your problem - possibly worth splashing out on a good oil? Mine is a TT 6 speed J-spec btw Hope that this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMG Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I changed all my fluids the other month and it still does it every now and them. It aint all the time. Going to check the plugs out when i get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Perhaps start with the IACV maybe? Spot on. First thing would be to clean the IACV, located on the intake manifold, carefully remove it and soak it in lemon joice overnight.... Then reset the ECU and give it a drive for a little while, then check for error codes. If you search for all the terms i have used here you will find what you need EDIT - does an NA have an IACV? If not ignore that bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
