Hi, my 89 pulsar has had some idling troubles..it was idling high (1100) after a cold start, then later warm idlingwould wander from 600 to 900. It started running quite rough when idle+accelerating, with a distinct smell of unburnt gas. I took off the throttle body and cleaned that mess up, and checked the airfilter. Got it to run a bit better, but now has very low idle, at 5 or 600 or a high idle at 1600. what to do now..
thanks for any help |

Re: More idle problems
Need to find the Idle Air Control Valve(IACV) and clean it out. Known to suck dirt/oil into it and suck in too much air and the ECU tries to compensate... badly. Very common problem.

Re: More idle problems
Yes, it is usually black and normally has a thin rubber pipe that goes to the wider rubber intake pipe which connects to the air filter.
