    Question Rough Idle???????

    Hey Guys, as some may know iv just brought this car and have had some probs with her Cooling then she was just being a bitch....

    Some how it just started playing the game again although its not perfect, iv done the plugs and leads which gave her much more grunt as they were shagged as a stkilda slurrieas, she runs nice now just the idle is rough and sometimes if i slow down quick thru the gears comin to the lights she might stall even tho i have clutched in 5 seconds before..... SHould i reset the Ecu again after doing new plugs and leads since it made a huge differance??? i will note since doing the plugs and leads its Better with the idle than it was....but still a bit cranky.... anyone got any ideas??? Injector cleaner?? somthing liek that???

    Check/Clean the IAC valve for correct operation. Also search the forum first, I swear its been posted a million times before

    Mine idles a lot better after putting a decent clean set of injectors in it. Theres a 'How to' here on cleaning the IAC valve with pics and very good instructions. It's only a few minutes of work and definately worth doing.
    Whoever said 'There is no substitute for cubes' had obviously never heard of Jet power
