Ok, when I start my car it idles at either 2000 or 1600, or somtimes around 950, but when it does idle at 950 its chugging like a V8. Now that its starting to get a bit chillier it doesnt even want to turn over in the mornings little own keep its idle at a stop. So not only do I have to push start it now, but i gotta heel toe the bastard too.

My buddy says its a vaccum leak. My other buddy that I got the car from said when they guy did the swap he ran the vaccum lines like an american 1.6. I just got into this scene was purely VW, so go easy on me.

Just wondering if anyone knows whats going on , any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

IACV (idle air control valve) did you inspect that or clean it out?

 

I know this sounds bad, but where and what is that??

Im a honda noob what can I say

 

Nevermind I found this, well see what happens, others opinions would be help full still.

Thanks

Good luck and let us know if that fixes the problem. :thumbup:

 

I cleaned out the idle air control valve and I can see some improvement. For example it idles a lot smoother.

But it is still kind of messed up, it idles fine until I push in the brake pedel, then it dies or, it revs up a bit and stays there. If I keep pumping the brake, the idle jumps up 100rpm everytime until it hits 2000rpm. Then it sits there.
