[Mk2 [NA] Idle issue

Post by wilkie senior »

Hi IMOC'rs i have an issue, the car runs fine when started, idle is perfect for ages at junctions etc for quite while then, im at a junction then the revs go low down & can stop. But give it a blip or a little loud pedal, idles ok again for a while.

I suspect a vac leak, or is it likely to be the Idle Comtrol Valve? dirty or the electrical activator?, thoughts peeps ta muchly

regards Brian
