    Question Hunting when you back off throttle

    I have a problem with my V6 VP Calais.

    When I back off the throttle while driving the car hunts/surges. The tacho bounces up and down a couple of hundred rpm and if I am going slow it makes my diff clunk (car has done 320,000 so diff/uni's are buggered) because it is bouncing up and down in revs.

    I have recently removed and cleaned out the Throttle Body and the IAC valve but this didnt help the hunting issue, in fact it just made the revs bounce faster.
    I have been told this could be cused by the IAC valve being set incorrectly (28mm if I remember correctly) or have also been told the o2 sensor may be faulty.

    Anyone had a similar problem with the V6's?

    Gotta get this fixed before I take the old girl over the pits.

    Cheers

    get another iac valve and put it on the old one is probably full of junk in the steeper motor
