Roylewaa Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 I had an Astra G and it was on the entire time I owned the car, and would occasionally throw itself into 'limp mode' usually when I needed to pull out of a junction quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Tried reading fault codes, eml was just slowly flashing in no other pattern Sprayed all vac lines in wd40 and there was no change in engine toneGot the battery disconnected at the moment so will see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Right I reset the ecu, however the engine would not start without touching the throttle pedal When started it was idling like this... after a drive around idle is better, however its all over the place, sometimes at 1200, others at 300 to almost stallingEml has gone out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sounds again like vac leak. Or iacv isn't doing its job. I experienced same symptoms after my engine sat for months. And iacv was sticking. I opened up bypass screw on throttle temporarily to get it to idle without throttle until I got working iacv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 I sprayed all the vac lines but there was no change in engine noteWhere is the iacv on the 1.4? I had a quick look but couldn't see it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I can't remember fully. I cleaned one on a mate's ej9 ages ago. Think it was behind the throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Think it's defo the iacv, it was idling at neirly 2k just before there and I tapped the iacv with the back of a screwdriver and immediately the idle returned to normal, and when I blipped the throte was idling at 300, tapped again and it went up to 750 Eric the car guy is awesome for that tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
