Hey, For the last week my car has been idling rough, then I get into overdrive and it starts skipping all over the place,also skips whilst going through gears. This is a major problem because this is my daily driver. Also,just noticed that when feeling my left front guard ..it is very hot..but the right side front guard is not, any help would be appreciated,thanx.
Idle problem could be your PTU or CAS or a loose coil pack connector or injector connector. Have a good look through the Tech section and get a Datascan/ConZult diagnosis done. Heat on LH fender if it's near the front could be coolant spraying out from a blocked overflow tank.
Check the tech section under "Curring eratic idle" its under "idle" , could be AAI, TPS n such. Mine was idling low a while ago (About to stall), reset the battery now it idles fine.. (Disconnected the battery cause I was working with some electrical systems)
thanx guys ..ill check it out..hope its not the timing belt or anything like that...because its not just skipping at idle...its happening in every gear
Have u had a 100km service done? (Well worth it if you havnt done it yet) Think someone just did one recently.. maybe he can give a few tips if u wanna do it yourself. If I ever had to get one done again, id do it myself (If I could) =) p.s. K-Zed's kit is a must =)
Not yet,no..and my car has done a bit over that so i should think about it soon...the worst thing i could have done was to blow every last CENT buying this thing. I should have kept a couple of grand aside for this stuff...oh well
