Low Idling

[mackdaddy]

Hi guys,

My IS200 is still idling really low at between 300rpm & 600rpm. When approaching a roundabout yesterday and pressing the clutch to change down to 2nd the car actually stalled :tsktsk: My Battery is new and think the alternator is ok as charging fine but car in desperate need of service and timing belt change

Low on funds for now so sticking it out but was hoping might be a cheap fix for the idling problem???

Cheers

Chris

you could try some carb cleaner. remove the air intake right up to the metal and spray it into the (technical description here) bit that has the circular valve attached via cable to the accelerator pedal. Bought from Halfords - aerolsol can about £5 - last you forever. Have a look at your air filter whilst you are at it...

Good luck

Cheers for the replies guys, I have a Trust induction kit fitted and that has recently been cleaned so shouldnt be that. Will be getting serviced soon so hope that sorts it. Where can I spray the carb cleaner with the induction kit?
