My Idling Is Oscilating - Any Ideas? ** Solved **

[actionslax]

Have noticed this recently. Once warmed up and stopped at lights etc I can hear and see the rev dip and peak dip and peak.

Is this a throttle body issue or fuel filter problem or something?

MY00 Classic wagon. Had a interim service December last year.

Any help and advice - again appreciated.

Cheers

15.04.10 - New MAF sensor sorted the idling and now running back to normal. Nice.

Sounds like maybe it's the maf sensor mate. Are any fault codes showing when you connect the 2 plugs.

Other causes could be a faulty idle control valve, a leaking atmospheric dump valve or a leak on the intake manifold via a split or poor fitting pipe.

cheers for the replies fellas.

steve - I am going to go with you on the MAF front and just do a replacement and see if this solves the prob. Don't think it has ever been replaced. On the bell to Nobles first thing tomorrow.

cheers again.

You can prove its the maf by starting the car with the MAF unplugged, if the idle is then stable the MAF is busted, if your symptoms persist then it is likely to be something else.
