Napalm Member 25 Member For: 20y 3m 1d Posted 23/07/10 08:12 AM Share Posted 23/07/10 08:12 AM Hello all. Have 03 BA from new and have had the idle issue for years. Replaced the entire throttle body, no change. Replaced the plugs, no change. The car has a tuned edit with stage 1 injectors. The car runs great except at idle which is rough and stalls at times. The other issue is a noise coming from under the battery. Its a constant ticking (from when I turn the ignition not from start) which appears to be a solenoid. Are these 2 issues related? Is the solenoid the boost solenoid or is there another down there? Would the WD40 trick help or should I just have it replaced. This has been extremely frustrating as the car runs quite OK apart from the idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs bugger all and the logical first step. Are you still using the original throttle position sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
