Idle control motor. 1.0 12v
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 5:35 pm
Ive had my car a few months now and when i first got it.. it was alright but i think my driving may have killed it =/
Luckly i work in a garage so i have access to 2 poster ramps and a launch diagnostic machine. i ran launch and it told me i had a few faults.. one of them was my idle air control motor, my mentor told me how they are a common fault on vauxhall so i replaced it. ive also replaced my crankshaft sensor as it came up with a fault but launch still finds a fault with that. i have also replaced my M.A.F sensor because i fried it with a pipercross =/. Anyway, my problem is that on nearly every journy i make, i touch the throttle a little to get moving and the revs continue to rise, i have to hold on the break and raise the clutch to keep them down untill i feel them falling. also sometimes, pulling up to junctions and lights, i dip my clutch to the floor, the whole car shakes and the engine stalls.. im wondering if it could be because ive changed some of the above parts
please help if you can
