	I have had a similar problem but mine also had problems idling... found out all it was was a loose air intake pipe... near the air filter. seems to be not a great connection... plugged it back on and perfect! good luck "BBO" <azoth@dod.no> wrote in message news:m3ll86ga16.fsf@dod.no...> BBO <azoth@dod.no> writes:> John Burns wrote:>> First thing I'd check for is a vacuum leak.

Ok, I took the car into a good independent shop and he did a testrun on it. No errors showed up. He then removed the hose on the cold side of the air manifold intake and sprayed some cleaner stuff into the mainfold intake where there is some kind of valve (not sure of the english word, sorry) which was full of soot. That almost cured the problem, and I will repeat the procedure a few times to get it good and clean. Apparently it is some kind of idle valve that was stuck causing the surging.

Yeah, I cleaned that one too, but the stuck valve or gate or whatever it is called was in the air intake manifold. That is the one that wasn't closing opening properly. After I cleaned and WD40'ied the idle control valve the engine idle became very smooth as well. I like this car. It's fun to drive and tinker with. -- azoth@dod.no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wenn im Zweifel, Volleistung!
