Jb73 New Member 13 Member For: 11y 3m 13d Posted 26/10/13 06:16 AM Share Posted 26/10/13 06:16 AM Hay all just wondering I've done a fair bit of work to my car and had it tuned but have noticed in the last couple of day when I come to a stop (not all the time) the car drops revs and sometimes it stalls. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the exact same problem. It's also in the tune in terms if injector scaling data isn't bang on. I had to go back to my tuner like 5 times or more and they've fixed it 90% with just changing the fuel reg n altering the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 20d Gender: Male Posted 28/10/13 12:23 AM Share Posted 28/10/13 12:23 AM I know of 3 FGs with a stalling issue. Two did it whilst stock and couldn't be rectified and one when tuned.Is it a 2009 model?Mine apparently did it whilst stock, and continued to do it whilst modified. However it has not stalled like it used to for over a year since I changed the throttle body. Examination of the old throttle body was a misaligned butterfly which I easily rectified by undoing the two screws just a little, closing the throttle completely and tightening up the screws, but I just left the secondhand one I bought on.But I still suffer from fluctuating idle depending on the weather. Warm weather is fine, colder weather it starts..Please post your resolve if your tuner manages to solve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb73 New Member 13 Member For: 11y 3m 13d Posted 28/10/13 10:10 AM Author Share Posted 28/10/13 10:10 AM I've got a walbro 460 pump and upgraded reg in from Kpm so not to sure it's just weird doesn't do it all the time. I called the tuner today and they told me to disconnect the battery for a hour and let the car relearn its idle and if that doesn't fix it I'll have to put a aftermarket fuel reg in it so see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
