S14 stall when idle

sshiraazz07 Nov 2011, 13:30

Hi guys,

Got my car running now, the mechanic is just going to adjust the timing.

The problem is that when we test drove it, it wants to cut out when you not pressing the accelerator.
Is this something the timing will sort or is it something else?

Thanks in advance.

Check the idle position switch setting. When the throttle is closed and almost gets to the fully closed position the i.p.s is activated .
This takes the management out of the "running" mode and places it into "idling" mode.
The idling circuit is completely void and separate from the normal running mode.

It may be that the switch is adjusted so that it activates too late and the engine cannot recover enough to idle.

It may also be that the switch is faulty. Un plug it and see what happens. If the engine idles reasonably start looking for another i.p.s.

Can some one tell me whether the switch is resistive or is it a mechanical switch ?

resistive as fsm shows testing conductivity
