help!!!

just drove to work in scoob this morning, and everytime I came to a junction or dipped clutch the revs were dropping right down and car nearly stalling, then revs pick back up slightly??

haven't give it the beans just in case it's something major

car sounds ok

any ideas chaps??

Sounds like a ICV sticking but not that familiar with your year of cars

Actually mine sometimes does that. It's on my list of things to fix. When I work it out I'll let you know!

Any cel lights thrown up ?

Ask one of the guys to put a code reader on it and see if anything comes up (johnny has one and a few of the other guys)

im sure someone else will have had the same fault at some point and should be able to advise!

no fault codes mate, have a code reader

very strange??

Could well be or a dodgy MAF

i have a spare one if you wan't to try it and if it is that im sure we can come to some sort of deal

cheers lads

on way home did it for a few miles, but then seemed fine??

I'll have to keep an eye on it

Had the same trouble with me classic few weeks ago,bought a new MAF, but was not needed, eventually found out it was a water temp sensor.As the ecu was getting the wrong reading,the mix was all wrong,was ok when revs were up,but when you pulled up to traffic lights or to park felt like it was going to cut out,new sensor fitted by Dr Kindon and been spot on since,could be wrong but only couple of quid to buy.

Yep, that is a sign of a faulty water temp sensor.

ah shite, if it is a water temp sensor then might just break the car then

will it harm the car??

If it is a faulty temp sensor you may get starting problems and/or excessive fuel usage due to the sensor sending the wrong signal to the ECU.

cheers jonny, car has felt slow to turnover, as if it can't be arsed to start

thought the battery was getting tired though, still on the original

I am amazed it's still on the original battery!!!

The sensor won't make it slow to turn over but will make it harder to start and turn over for longer if it is sending a signal to the ECU with a higher temp value.

This will also cause the revs to drop too low.

yeah that's what I meant, instead of 1st or 2nd (cough), maybe 3 or 4

Can plug my kit in and monitor the water temp at the ECU at the next meet if you want mate.

cheers bud, would appreciate it

have you got a dumpvalve fitted rotter ?

just had a few cars with that problem u explain, and most ov them been leaking dumpvalve

still on standard recirc bud

I need one! (still lol) is there somewhere other than mainstealers to pick one up? Can just imagine GMD turning round and saying theyre £350 +vat or something stupid like that.

ive got spare ones of each type,V1-V4 2 wire orange plug type, V5 on including newage 3 wire grey plug

Its a 3wire one, how much you charging for them Andy?

went out in the car yesterday and everything was fine, no revs dropping and nearly stalling.

think I'll just have to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again
