I have finally got my project running but from when I started it up the revs slowly went up to 4000 rpm and stayed there. I disconnected the throttle position sensor and the revs dropped to 1500 rpm. I changed the throttle pos sensor but did not cure the fault. The car has no exhaust on it so no lambda probe fitted
While it was running I disconnected the yellow connector connected on the left hand of the throttle housing but that did nothing. It still sat at 1500 rpm with throttle pos sensor disconnected
Next I am going to clean out the idle air control valve and see what happens
I am hoping it's not the ecu otherwise that's my project over before I have had chance to finish it
Any help is greatly appreciated

Re: Idle problem 2.0 8v turbo- help needed
I think the IACV is faulty but at £112 that one is going to have to wait. Another person on the 306 forum has said that the TPS and the IACV need calibrating????, Such a shame as the project was going so well.
Another person said it could be an air leak??
If it is the ECU however i am looking at a vems set up from DP Engineering.
Again all advice is appreciated.

Didn't I read somewhere that you can recalibrate the TPS with the ignition on but engine not started,
something involving pressing the throttle pedal to the floor? or perhaps Gingermagic told me....
If not I am talking utter B@##@(£s

Re: Idle problem 2.0 8v turbo- help needed
Ok it's been a while since I posted but I cured the fault, there was a feed wire that goes from the relay block to the iacv that was corroded.
Since then the engine will not idle properly, it hunts like mad. Lost on this one as it has a brand new iacv
Anybody got any clues to cure it?

Re: Idle problem 2.0 8v turbo- help needed
HI All
I still have this erratic idle issue, the engine idles up and down between 950-1100 rpm, i have a brand new iacv fitted, the Throttle position sensor appears ok, disconnecting it makes no difference to the idle either.
On a better note, the car is now finished and on the road, flew through the MOT with no advisories, i thought with the idle issue it would fail the emissions, but good as gold.
Just need to solve the issue with the idle, can anybody offer any advice?
