idle surge...

OK i have a 92 tsi.. i have idle surge that i cant get rid of... i replaced the coil, turbo, bov, isc, ecu capacitors, intake manifold gasket, 02 sensor, 0 rings in the tb... and some more stuff.... and it is still surging but when i take the innercooler piping off of the tb and restrict the air flow it corrects its self... the throttle cable is not tight, i ran out of stuff that i can replace. it all happened when it jumped timing.. could it be a bent intake valve?

I also cleaned the manifold and the tb really good.

Re: idle surge...

It could be the bent valve. When it jumped did you hear a hit from the engine? You may also want to check the EGR valve also. Could be dirty/broken.

Re: idle surge...

i don't remember hearing any noises.. but the vacuum gage is at about 15.. i think the needle should be moving if it had a bent valve... I removed the egr a few months before all of this started happening. It is so confusing

Re: idle surge...

Have you done a compression test? That should tell you if you bent a valve badly enough to affect any performance.

Re: idle surge...

Then that is your problem. 130 is too low

It could be any of them. A leakdown test will tell you more if you can get ahold of one of those bad boys.
