Evenin all,

 

Just got back from a bit of a blast tonight, while the turbo timer was running down the engine was idling at about 1300rpm. Also noticed it when i was waiting at some traffic lights just befor i got back. Tried blipping the throttle to help it settle, but stayed at a constant 1300ish

 

Any ideas?

 

Checked the throttle springs, but not long since i WD40'd em...

could be a tps issue

Easy Damo,

 

TPS? Throttle Position Sensor? Sorry, still learning the jingo. What does TPS stand for?

 

Cheers

yes that right mate, check your throttle is not sticking also. When my idle played up i had a slight boost leak.

air con was off, but the radiator fan was blowing more than usual, probably because the engine was quite hot - but not excessively so. Does this affect the idle at all?

 

cheers

Will fire her up wheni get back from work and see what's what. Will give this a go...

Check that ECU temp sensor, that causes the air con fan to come on

Evenin fellas (and gals)

 

Took the Zed for a short run today and the idle was still at about 1500.. I had a play with the air con and sure enough, the idle dropped back to normal. Was only a short run, but idle seems to be fine now. Gonna have a thorough look tomorrow, but I guess that this info narrows down what I should be checking?

 

Cheers
