Any help appreciated again.
VS Berlina Ecotec unmodified.
Car starts no problems but sometimes doesnt idle very well. Missing and stumbling. Then it might settle down and idle Ok.
If you stab the throttle in neutral, It will stumble or hessitate for a brief moment and the rev cleanly once its overcome this.
When driving, if you're stopped at the lights, get off the brakes and straight onto the throttle (lightly), it will miss and stumble for a couple seconds but then come clean and once a bit of speed is up (couple kmh) it will rev and accelerate without an issue.
If you get off the brakes and let the car roll a bit in drive and then get on the throttle it is not as bad and sometimes doesn't stumble at all.
The alternator light is comming on a bit but it was comming on before this stumble occured. noticed one of the wires out of the alternator seems a bit corroded after reading that the VSs had this wire problem on this forum. (thanks)
Could the alternator/wire issue cause the stumble problem when taking off?
If not,
Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
thanks
