Got a RB5 that has just started to drop the revs right down when it is idling like it's going to cut out but then kicks back in.
Sometimes after driving and you stop quick the revs drop and it cuts out. Any ideas please?? Last edited by themacka; 06 Jan 2006 at 05:37 PM. |

Thanks Kev!
I don't think the ECU has been reset. It fine when it is cold, but after it's warmed up it idles normally, then drops as if it is going to stall but then kicks in again. I am gonna have to take it in to be checked I suppose. |

Sounds like a MAF problem. First sign of a MAF problem is unstable tickover. Don't want to worry you but don't boot it untill you have had the MAF cheched out.
A quick test of the Maf is with car warm let it tickover and unplug the MAF the engine should cut out. If the car still ticks over be it a bit unsteady the MAF is on its was out. |

as every one has mentioned already, its either the idle speed control valve or maf sensor... would try cleaning out the valve first then change maf sensor next if it doesn't help... that's what happened to mine... hope that helps... use plugs below dash to read codes in case something is logged without triggering the engine check light
