Re: Idle problems

Alright mate. Yeah think i got it fixed. Took a couple of trips to the garage but so far she seems to be running ok. They had to clear 3 fault codes that came up when they plugged in a diagnostic computer, but she was still idling way too low so they tried messing with the throttle sensor which helped for a short while. Then they took off the idle control valve and flushed it out. It seems to have done the trick but the engine is still rough on start-up sometimes. I've also been running it on Shell optimax. Not sure if it has any effect on making the engine run better but it definately feels mores responsive. Hope you get your girlfriends clio sorted.
