Hello All,
My 2001 1.8 auto (128000 klms) has an idle problem. Engine stalls when backing off for corners or stopping in traffic. I adjusted the cable tension to increase the idle and that worked for a while, until problem started again. I have replaced the tappet cover gasket kit and changed leads/coil packs. (Spark plugs replaced recently). This seemed to fix the problem and had to then lower the idle speed back to normal. Today was running a bit rough (sounded like it had different exhaust), stalling started again so idle is back up again. Checked plug leads no oil leaks. Any idea's?
