What Regulates Minimum Revs

[Russdx]

my is200 is bit fooked

it wont catch the revs so every time i dip the clutch it just stalls

and when u start it idles VERY low engine is literally just ticking over

does this sound like a sensor fault? what normally catches the revs when low and keeps the engine alive?

thanks :)

idle control valve??

[Russdx]

ah is this a easy part to change?

[widnes_is200]

if it was a sensor would it not be putting ure light on?

I dont think the IS has an ICV like the fords.

Have you serviced it lately?

[Russdx]

not recently

me neither but was the first thing that sprung to mind so thought i'd suggest it. lol.

bit odd then.....

[sparkystav]

not recently

probely needs one, new filter, spark plugs and oil at least.

possibly have a look in the throttle body and clean it out carefully,

ah yeah could get it serviced i guess hehe

[ColinBarber]

clean the throttle body. Try and get the engine to idle so the ECU can start to just the speed correctly. It can take several minutes for it to adjust correctly.

iv added this big induction kit with a mushroom filter on the end

maybe this might need cleaning lol could be restricting air

ill give it all a good clean ne way :)

[bigdavegrr]

It could be the air flow sensor then, if you've fitted a induction kit.

Did you re-install the mass air-flow sensor correctly?

[Russdx]

its had the induction kit on for about a year and never had a problem

iv noticed the Battery is fuked 2 as its completely dead now i had to charge it other day as well

so i think because iv left it on my drive for a bit its just completely died

hopefully new Battery will solve all problems hehe

[Russdx]

hmm new Battery same problem
