stretcha

Oh, I forgot to mention that before, at night I've noticed that with the car idling, the interior lights and also headlights slightly flicker. Seemed to go away when the revs were raised. I want to get it fixed and sorted once and for all, but the way I'm going ands the price of fuel, I might have to sell it :(

Here we go again... I was driving tonight, the first time in a week at night, and I noticed that my lights were on but my dash lights weren't on. It was like it wasn't switching over to night mode. Same goes for the audio unit, still on day display. But it gets better... On my way home from a bit of pier fishing, at about 2.30am and bam, the cops pull me over thinking I was someone pissed from the clubs. They said everything was all good and that my tail lights were dull. I turned my lights off when I got pulled over, so I turn them on and check for myself, couldn't tell, so I got the officers to turn off there party lights and well f*ck me, I have no tail lights. Haven't had a chance to look at it, but could it be a Lighting Control Module? The lights had been flickering before, but I haven't payed attention to it lately. Could it be alternator related? Hmmm

It looked like it was working fine when I was spraying it and revving it. But it returns to idle at rest ok so I don't think that's the issue

I'm pretty sure it hasn't got an intake leak, I checked that with water a few weeks ago. But convinced myself to reach for the carby cleaner sat night. No leaks. Today I noticed that the problem became intermittent and when it was playing up it wasn't revving as hard. Only noticed because when I backed off for the turn off. Drove it again tonight and it's doing it all the time again. You can be going along at 50 or 60, back off and it will pretty much maintain speed. Also another thing, it's only happened 4 times, but twice this week, when I've started the car, after letting it sit for an hour, hour half, it misses it's ass off, kind of similar to when traction control kicks in. It throws an engine light too. I turn it off, think hmmm, then restart it and it starts fine and the eng light has gone out. Also, when I cleaned my tbody, I pushed the tplate in so I could wipe it with a rag. I thought they closed hard and always reset their position just before start up.(I was always taught to be careful with fingers around them when turning the key). Could I have some how damaged the tps or tbody motor? Is the throttle body or plate Teflon coated and I've rubbed it off? Do they have idle bypass ports that could be at fault? Hmmmm...

Ba mk2 xr6t, rough idle and revs in neutral Hey guys, I need some help, advice with my xr6t ba mk2 auto with 140000kms. Just recently I did some work on it. Cleaned my throttle body, changed one coil and tightened a loose turbo stud. But since doing this, when my car is in motion, the throttle doesn't fully close when I back off. If I put it into neutral when moving, eg. down a hill, it revs up to between 2000 & 3000rpm, but it idles fine at rest. Also an idle and when warm, the car has a shake to it, but it's not a miss. Another strange thing I found was the short term fuel trim( not sure but think sft1) is up between 30 & 40% nearly all the time. Any help would be great. Thanks

Any ideas why it might be running rich?

Cheers, I'll drop into work tomorrow and plug in the ids and have a look at the pids

My 2004 xr6t mk2, with 128,000k shakes a bit at idle, but its not a miss and a power balance test comes up clean. Its got new spark plugs in it and its not an intake manifold. Only happens when warmed up and also my interior light flickers. Battery is getting a bit old, but still pulls 388CCA. Car cranks and starts fine, and the alternator has 14.4-14.9v output, also its running rich, but my oxy sensor is putting out an up n down graph, which is good... any ideas why the three faults are present? Are they all related? Also there are no related codes stored in the pcm.
