Won’t idle
Posted: 18 Aug 2018, 15:15
I’m on my hols in Finland & all of a sudden the van is struggling to idle.
Everything runs fine wen I get going but just dies when I take my foot off the pedal.
The vac pipes are all good and connected, & I’ve bypassed the idle stabilisation unit but no joy.
I’ve cleaned the idle jet & can’t see any obvious air leaks.
Any advice helpful as we’ve got a three week holiday ahead of us & this is a bit of an issue. Cheers.
Forgot to mention it’s a Pierburg 2e3 carb.
E D I T. All sorted. Cleaned the idle jet again & found a crack in the air intake which is gaffered up. Onwards & upwards!!
