Hello all!
New to kick-fix, though have been using it as a reference for some time.
I'm rather stumped, when cold, the idle is totally eratic, sometimes 1500, sometimes 2100, sometimes 2800.
Then once warm, it will idle around 800-1200 (sometimes surging between the two, not really sure what triggers it) and then after I touch the throttle it will either bog out and die, or drop to like 300rpm and barely recover.
I used an OBD scanner and saw an ISC code, and EGR code. I took them off and cleaned them, reset the codes and now after driving a while, the codes have not come back, however, the same symptoms apply.
I do not quite understand how to test the EGR on this car, because it's got a metal plate that cannot be pushed on in order to do the stall test.
I thought perhaps the timing belt had slipped, so I replaced it last night, but it was fine. However, I went to time the motor this morning, and the timing jumps around so much, I didn't really know what to do. In the few rare occasions that its actually running at 800RPM, it would jump between 2-10 BTDC.
I'm so confused
Please let me know if I missed any vital information.
Thank you in advance, and I'm happy to finally joined!
