got a odd problem when driving???

Postby nairnman » Tue Feb 21, 2012 8:17 pm

car seems to hunt only when changing gear mainly downshifting? i have checked and cleaned the stepper motor and seems to be in good working order aswel as the wiring. i checked all vacuum hoses and no splits in them, i have recently change all to silicone coloured ones but the car as been fine since then so doubt its those. am i missing anything, i cleaned air flow sensor lightly with a carb cleaner. what could this be. i had to adjust the idle screw on throttle body because idle was far too high after i reset ecu.

I don't really know what you mean by hunt. Do you mean down on power or just a bit 'off'?

Where did you fill up last, lots of dodgy places around at the moment selling pi$$ water. If I fill my car with anything other than Maxol E5 then it effects it (this includes Topaz, I will argue with you on that one!)

Don't forget it takes 2/3 fills to get a crap one out of it's system...

Think you will probably find your answer in your own question. Idle control issue it what it sounds like to me. Last line of your post.
