Why would this cause it to up and down idle? Just curious
As normal I ran it with the cap off, no bubbles, but wasn't for an hour.

Just due to the fact that their is pockets of air travelling through the system. Im not 100% sure as to why this happens but when I was a noob I had this happen to me. After I bled the air out of the system the idle hunt went away.Quote:

Cheers for that:)
maybe ecu thinks ect is not yet at normal operating temp so it will raise idleQuote:

but tps can also cause erratic idle. (high voltage)
jack car up high and rev it about 3k rpm to get more coolant flow
once tstat opens, you will have plenty of bubbles come up
these kinda funnel is really good for bleeding coolant.

Tstat is open. Been running for 40 minutes and no change.
No more air bubbles as the coolant stays the same level.
Dammit!
must be your iacv then? clean it up.Quote:

explain what problems you have when swapping clutch
cant go in second gear when engine is running or when engine is off or both?
Something weird. Turn the steering wheel then stop, and the car returns to normal idle for a second or two then goes back.
Will be taking it to an auto sparky my week off. It can sit for a couple of weeks and think about what's its done.
My revs drop a little below idle when I creep forward then stop with the clutch in as you would do in a traffic jam, crowded car park or reverse parking. I just feels like the car is going to stall, and it's not like i'm pressing the clutch in too late before i stop either.
The car shudders abit then goes back to normal idle... sometimes its so obvious that even my lights dim abit lol It's been like this for awhile too. anyone have this problem?
I see this on both of my ep3's (prefl & fl). Not too sure why this happens.Quote:

Anyone know if a coilover kit ment for the EU chassis fit into the ep3 ? cause i got offered reasonable price for a set of pedders extreme XA adjustable coilovers
but what stopped me was it was ment for an EU and i dont know whether i should go for the DC5r ones instead?
