Hi,

We had our first full track day on sunday and the car performed well except for a couple of small issues.

After a few sessions of about 5 laps the cars idle bacame erratic, sometimes dropping low, going high after a low spot then back to normal, it didnt go so low it cut out all the time, most of the time if left it would sort itself out. Any ideas other than a new ICV?

Also when on track and the road we have a slight hesitation issue when going up the revs, it still accelerates fine up the range but has a couple of coughs on its way. We have put this down to the last owner installing PT80 cams and not remapping the car but could this be something else that we are missing? Its fine normal road driving but a couple of times ive felt it hesitate while cruising at a constant speed as well.

While i think of it as well, the car starts fine but sometimes turns over very very slowly once or twice, then fires up as you would expect, new battery needed do you think?

Thanks fro any help or advice in advance

Alex

Had this happen to me twice, exact same symptoms, came out of nowhere and became a constant issue.

Both times it turned out to be the map sensor,

Once the new one was installed it was back to normal, both of the cars were standard, but there is no reason why it couldn't be the same problem. Give all the sensors a clean with some carb cleaner. Failing that replace the MAP first as it is probably the cheapest and work your way through.

Good luck

Thanks for the fast replies guys!

Ill try cleaning the MAP and ICV to see if that helps

Had similar issues - tried the MAP - wasnt that - tried the lambda and bingo! it hasnt missed since (only a week mind)

No more peugeots

Snap - no more RS clio

Now Ph1 RS clio

True, it did not help for me

Just unplug the lambda and give it a spin, if the problem is gone, then it will be new lambda time

P1 Diablo red 6 gone but not forgotten

It sounds like a dirty ICV in conjunction with a knackered lambda...

Just grab this. Its almost certainly your map sensor, and for that price you can hardly go wrong. Its very similar to the replacement i bought when mine went, it might actually be an identical part in fact.

Also here is a new Idle control valve for sale on ebay.

Neither of these parts are genuine.

Non gen MAP sensors tend to work perfectly however i have heard some bad reports about cheap ICV's so be aware.

Thank you for the replies guys, ive managed to secure a deal for the two sensors with a member

Hopefully get them both changed before Brands on the 14th

did you manage to sort this out?

It does indeed sound it could be a MAP issue now, once you get the correct part and bolt it on hopefully this will solve it.
