sharpelupo Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 hi guys and girls got in the lupo this morning started spot on no issues, went to town and back parked up and noticed the idle rev's sit lower then normal (about 600 - 500 rpm) but then slowly goes back up to just below 1000 then drops again, the reves really drop when i start turning my steering wheel to park up and almost stalls, any ideas what this could be? havnt tryed anything yet as not sure where to startthanks guys and girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Probably easiest/cheapest place to start is by cleaning out the throttle body and egr valve. Just get some carb cleaner and give them a quick clean and see what happens. Have you had the it scanned for codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupoluke Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 For the full electrical fail check the strip fuses on top of your battery, as for uneven idle it could be many a thing, but chances are an air leak or dirty throttle body, have a search dude.
