- MY09 V8 VE Calais V 60th Anniversary Edition
Hi All,
I own a MY09 V8 Calais V 60th Anniversary sedan. Lately I have been experiencing a high idle when driving the car. I notice it when say stopped at a set of lights and the car is still in 'Drive'... It feels like the car wants to go and I notice the Inst Fuel sitting at 2.8 and then fluctuate to 3.4, 3.7. The sound of the engine sounds like Im holding the brake and lighly resting my foot on the pedal... Sorry its hard to explain. Its not the normal creep you get in an automatic, its like it wants to go...
Sometimes I can go a week without it doing it and then all of a sudden I go start the car and it starts doing it... Sometimes its stops by itself but very rarely... Normally I have to turn the car off....wait... and then start it again and then its fine.
Anyone else had this issue or experiencing it at the moment? Just wondering if anyone knows of a fix.
My dealer is trying to solve it but has already replaced the Throttle Position sensor and checked with the Tech II but the issue never seems to do it when its at the dealership so its hard to catch...
