    Default Strange Idle

    Hi
    I have a LPG/Petrol Manual VS Ute and it had a service last week, yesterday it started to idle @ around 2.5k when I pull up at the lights or slow down and then drop down to around just under 1k and almost stall when I stop.

    Now I have only owned the Ute around 4 months and don't know much about it.

    I did get 3 pages of "issues" from the Mechanic last week which included worn engine mounts.

    Any Ideas?

    Check the error codes for one. Im leaning towards a TPS and/or IAC.

    Also if the hole in the rad is plastic, drain it, dry it and araldite it up. Cheep fix. Or $80 brand new.
