If your idle speed is low, find out what's actually wrong with your car and fix it!

i thought the screw on the air box to adjust air mix adjusts the idling aswell?

This was a older Jetronic ECU, it did not use mappings, and was anal...

they told me at the mot station to put some petrol cleaner in with my petrol n tht would improve emissions but i dno whether it is worth it eny1 tried it if so wots the outcome?

M20 I think n I jus changed the spark plugs and it runs alot better

the air filters clean and the car does smoke a little bit at first but when its warmed up it stops

what will help removing the crap?

my car failed on emissions by 48% on co level will changing spark plugs cure the problem?

so what do I need to do to make it not cut out?

Yer I do have a subwoofer but I disconnected it n it still does it so gna run a wire with a in-line fuse directly to it to see if tht works

My jvc stereo keeps cuttin off when I put it loud what do people think the problem is?

thats what i thought but if i left it there it would be a free re-test but coz i took it home i have to pay a partial test which is £27

Topblag wrote:7 days for free re-test if you take it away, 10 days if it stays in the garage who did the test IIRC.

anything cheap i can do for the emissions the pass level is 3.50 and its failed level was 3.98 it passed the idle speed, smoke level and hc level

lol all the questions i was asking n it passed on all thm but failed on the brake hose rubbing on the rim, emissons to high and washers failing yet the washers where working fine when i left it there so now i gta pay for another mot STUPID GARAGE

use a wire brush to get to bare metal thn red oxide it i think thn primer it there myt be a better way but thts what i did to my fiesta n it kept the rust away

thanks for the quick reply
