2.0 SRi-T Dodgy Idle.

Post by davidmartin »

Hi again guys,

My car has an irregular idle. I have done the basics to try and cure it:

Sparks, Leads, Dizzy Cap, Rotary Arm + Oil and Filter

Still no joy though.

The problem is all the time, whether it is hot or cold. All intake pipes etc have been checked and are all good.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Again, help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Dizzy cap? Rotary arm? :shock:
