dolbs Member 7 Member For: 17y 8m 24d Posted 17/02/09 02:28 AM Share Posted 17/02/09 02:28 AM Does anyone have an idea what would be causing the idel on my 2005 Series II XR6 Turbo Ute to be hunting up to 250 RPM once the car warms up? I have a CAPER box and tune but I have had that checked out and they say it is not the issue. Is it likely to be the Throttle Position Sensor?

Clean the throttle body with t/body/carby cleaner2. Check for air leaks in the intake piping3. Change your spark plugs4. Change your coil packs.5. Get the tune looked at by a decent tuner.(ihmo that the order i would go about sorting the problem out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
