Hi guys,
I've been hunting down an off throttle idle issue for a long time now. : The car is my AU 1 Futura wagon, (dual fuel) auto. At lights, idle is irregular. Sitting on 60kmph, throttle barely open, I'm watching the revs go up and down a little and I can feel the car going and hesitating (very annoying). At the same speed, with cruise on, it doesn't do it. I've had the car dyno tuned, throttle body cleaned, plugs changed, filter (air) changed and the idle regulator thingy cleaned out today. No change. I'm getting sick of it I can tell you. I'm going the coil pack and leads next I reckon, because I'm running out of things to chase down. Does this sound like a good idea? If so, here's the question. Who can give me a really good blow by blow description of how to change these items (coil pack and leads)? Where should I get these bits from? Repco or Bursons ok? That's what I was thinking. Anyone who's successfully done these changes and lives near Broadmeadows in Melbourne want to come and give me a hand? An irregular request I know, but I'm like most of you guys, sick of being ripped off, and wanting to learn some new skills and need a bit of a helping hand. It takes me a fair bit to trust someone else with my cars if you know what I mean? Any takers? Well at least with the step by step instructions at least! Then I could assess whether the work is beyond me or not. I know I'm able to, it's the fact that it's probably going to have to be done from underneath that I'm in two minds about. e I would hate to start and not be able to finish if you get me! I would look like a right royal moron if that were the case. : As always, your input is greatly appreciated. GK P.S Very sorry for the extremely long post, but I needed to put the detail in.
