if the engine is hunting , it could be the idle control valve or the airflow meter .

[just ask me]

yeah same thing happend to mine its a sensor that detects the amount of petrol going to the engine ill find out the name of it  

[mac1]

what do you men buy hunting,she put her foot to the floor and its lucky to do 30 mph thanks for the interest mate

[Guest puresoontjen]

petrol. not getting enough fuel. change the sparkplugs. or a brakedown in the distributor. or one of the air pipes as come off the air intake. stikey valve. or tapits needs to be adjusted.

[Guest joshdonlan]

Air filter could be blocked or spark plugs gone? Any other symptoms?

its a term for ,,rough idle ,,,,,,,foot to floor could also be fuel inj blocked / restricted . it need's pluged in to a TAC 1 fault finder , and see what trouble code's come up ..check for a loose or burnt HT lead,,

1 Lead braking down & it woulden't pull you out of bed

HT leads if you go and start the car now in the dark you will see little blue sparks going  one to another its called arking.

[mac1]

[mac1]

Take 1 HT lead of at a time , check for burn's on the electrode's at either end , if OK replace , if you find a bad 1 take to a dealer and ask for same . i got a feeling its a bad lead  or a jiggerd coil,,

 

[Guest puresoontjen]

will look now thanks everyone

 

dont move them with your hnds if they spark you will get a belt off them turn it off.

that's a whole new ball game , 2 thing's to do ,,,1 check for oil in the rad header tank , where you top up collant/anti freeze,,,2 pull the dip stick & check for water in the oil .

 

[Guest puresoontjen]

i would say it off at the back of the engine its a thin pipe as big as T bar sort of size
