Unever idling after throttle depressed and released?

Post by ~robin »

My 91' V6 (UK spec) MX-3 is doing something<BR>wierd, when it's idling if you depress the accelerator then release it, the revs don't<BR>just drop back down to a steady tickover,<BR>they'll drop right down and the engine will judder a bit, then tehy go up over normal idling then settle back down, as I know sod all, it'll probably be a visit to the dealers soon Image<BR>I know it can't be the HT leads 'cause they were replaced recently... I've cleaned and gapped the plugs and that's about the limit of my mechanical ability...<P>If anyone's come across this and could enlighten me as to the cause I'd be grateful..<P>TIA<P>Robin

Thanks to Justin who mailed me the solution.<P>It turns out there was a crack in the rubber<BR>hose the goes between the air cleaner and the engine, and as the engine moved it opened! Sorted! Image)
