Stalling and idle bob

Post by **Toms240420** » Wed Sep 24, 2003 4:26 pm

I'm the "FNG" so please dont beat me up on this one. while I'm driving, if i push the cluch in while above about 2k or so, 9 times out of 10 my engine will stall or drop to 100 and almost. at a stop i can rev up and let off and there is no problem. only while in motion. i have removed the AIV and pluged up the vacum hoses. i only put premium gas, everything else seems to be doing great. then at random the idle bobs. basic tune up has been done. where else should i look. please help, i dont like my baby to be stalling in public, someone might think she sick. thanks.

Check your EGR valve just incase... I had an issue with hesitation and some idle problems and it turned out my EGR was bad... I just pulled the vaccuum line off of it and put a screw in the end of the vaccuum line and no more hesitation or issue.

so i can try to plug the EGR hose and just plug it, no problems?

I've had no problems and I've been driving with the plugged EGR vaccuum line for months... actually when you first start the car it will be a slight rough idle but will smooth out as soon as you start moving, but it's a small price to pay for such a pain..

let us know if that works!

sorry had to edit that sentence... reads better now

Thanks a lot, i hope it works. this is the only little thing left before i can feel comfortable doing engine mods.

Isn't the EGR setup removed in the sticky in the top of the forum regarding the AIV valve thingy? If so I got all that shiat removed

Still got the bobbing idle when I come to a stop with clutch in, especially if I was just after doing some 'spirited' accelerating

I don't know how this fits into the problem, but whenever my a/c is on, I can drive freely and pop the car in neutral even @ 3k-5k. the a/c seems to make the car idle a little bit higher so when it drops, it stops around 900-1100 and stays there.
