n/a VL no idle

[LoveB]

Heyas all, I'm new and I need some help lol.


I'm just in AU for vacation again (come quite alot) and this time got myself a VL to drive around whilst im here. Problem is it doesnt idle. It runs and you have to step on the accelerator to keep it running. If you let it go it dies.


I'm going to try to adjust the idle to something higher but was wondering if anyone could tell me where the screw is? Or should I be worried that this is something bigger than that?

I'm in ACT at the moment if anyone is willing to help out Thanks in advance guys

on the ECU it has and idle adjust screw..
or on the throttlebody just adjust slightly to open the throttle plate slightly.
possibly Air flow meter is on its way out or Crank Angle sensor. as well as air leaks in intake piping
Search is your friend for running issues as we have all coved this topic quite a bit:P
Goodluck

Yeah I tried searching but the first ones I found were just the running rough ones was thinking it might be mroe than just a screw.

Thanks buddy

if u bring the revs up say about 900-1000 Rpm does it smooth out..
i think idle is about 750Rpm factory set...
if it smooths out i would say either leads/plugs.
Clean or replace dizzy cup and rotor.
clean trottlebody and intake runners.
New fuel filter
Air filter clean/ or replace
No airleaks in intake piping.
AAC valve and Fuel Reg working correctly/clean.

I'll have to try that in the morning.. Hopefully that fixes it!

idle adjustment screw is on the back of the plenum chamber next to the AAC valve if you can't get the correct idle from there then adjust the screw on the ecu.

It's apparently a leaky injector
