Bonzai 2 Posted November 17, 2006 following on from this thread; http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...c=61696&hl= since swapping my Mi from James's car to mine ive been experiencing the 3000rpm idle and the only way iove found to get rid of it is by blipping the throttle well over 5k which i hate doing and i know i shouldnt, but if i dont, the car is absolutely undriveable... :S once itss settled down though its fine. we didnt remove the inlet manifold, tb etc or fiddle with it when doing the engine swap, but my mate did tinker with something (i think it was the throttle stop - whichever screw it is on the Mi t/:unsure: a few weeks ago and this is when it all started really i need help a bit more urgently now as i've had a complaint from a neighbour about the loud idling at 3k+ at 5.30 am suggestions please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 18, 2006 Throttle cable sticking, or it might have fallen out of the T/B linkage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) Check that the idle switch on the TPS is working. Mine idled very high (2500-3000) and it turned up that the throttle wasn't quite closing enough to trip the switch. Reving it upto 5k might mean that when you shut the throttle again it's moving just fast enough to hit the switch and let it idle properly.

welshpug 1,621 Posted November 18, 2006 like ryan said, if the throttle stop has been fiddled with its unlikely that the TPS is adjusted correctly, really easy to fix though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonzai 2 Posted November 18, 2006 so how do i go about checking and setting up that? cheers for all you input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,621 Posted November 19, 2006 firstly check tath the throttle cable is fully adjusted but that you arent hitting full T/B travel before the pedal hits the carpet as that can snap the cable, but also make sure that you can obtain full throttle without too much slack whan its off. then, with the idle speed set to a satisfactory speed, turn the engine off and move the throttle lever by hand, you should hear a click, if not you'll need to turn the switch till it does just click when the throtte is at rest. thats the standard procedure for the 8v management, though i'm not sure wether the Mi16 uses a switch or a potentiometer, if it uses the latter hook up a multimeter to measure resistance and adjust it accordingly from there. hope that makes sense!

Super Josh 4 Posted November 20, 2006 thats the standard procedure for the 8v management, though i'm not sure wether the Mi16 uses a switch or a potentiometer The 1.9 Mi uses a throttle switch like the 8V Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
