For the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing an intermittent idle and gear change problem.... let me explain....,

 

I first noticed that sometimes while waiting in traffic, I'd shift into 'N' while at traffic lights etc, and the revs would go up as far as 1.5, instead of the usual .8. Now this would be at full running temp and could occur either towards the start of a journey or even after quite a long one, and sometimes it would run properly altogether.

At the start it was just this, then I noticed that i was starting to have trouble with the auto box taking longer to change up. Now it did this at the same time as the revs were high.

Now it was starting to piss me off, until today, when i found the problem, which was................

 

Nah!!! :D Let's see if anyone came put their finger on it first :D

This is exactly the same problem that I'm currently experiencing with mine; revs not dropping back to normal and very noticeable delay in changing up. Also, it can occur (intermittently) at any time during a journey.

 

I was going to spend this weekend checking the electrical connections to the various sensors around the engine bay.

 

How close is my finger?

Spot-on, was virtually anyway, it was the TPS connector. Played with it (in fact actually just touched it) and it's been running fine since. So I'll be buying a new connector as soon as.

low atf? :o

i had the same with mine, but as it was a manual i never had the box problems.

 

Well chuffed with that, not had a zed for 2 years and i can still sus out a fault.

 

anyway glad you sorted it bud
