Ok so people have had the same problem. The guy did say the hose to the air filter was split and he has just replaced it. Is there an idle screw you can adjust then.
-
Not to sure. think its all electric..EFI etc. afm..all that stuff.
didn't really look at engine before e dumped it :lol:
-
So if its all electrically surly resetting the ecu or chipping the car should sort out any problems

Think there's an adjustment screw near the airbox but not 100% sure
There's probably some info if you search the site

There is indeed. Its a screw on the top of the throttle body. Adjust it with a big phillips head screwdriver, takes seconds! I had to adjust mine after replacing IM gaskets, got it set at about 700 now.
If you really want to check the car's health why not do the fault code test to pull any error codes of the ECU. All it take is a 12v LED and a bit of wire.

'put your wire between the TEN and GND, then get a 12v LED from somewhere.
Plug the neg of that into the FEN terminal and the pos into the +B terminal.'
ok whats:
TEN
FEN
+B???

its written on the lid of ur diagnostic box in the engine bay on the right ;)

Sounds like a vacume hose is leaking or blocked.
Look at all your vacume hoses and replace any that are not working, also look at the state of your air filter.
