Sounds like your idle stepper valve is sticky, remove it & clean it.

If it still does not work, look in the technical archive for Hotwire EFI fault finding / troubleshooting guide and work through every step, post information of any strange results here so people can help you.

Could be - what is the actual idle speed? With stepper probs - in my experience - the idle seems to stick at 1700+ revs and can sometimes be brought down by blipping the throttle.

What he said /\ /\ :)

It might also be worth carefully examining all vacuum pipes and hoses. Mine has recently split a couple of vacuum pipes (advance/retard pipe and the one to the heater controls on my RRC) and in both cases the symptoms were running rich and an idle speed of 1100rpm.

HTH

p.s. I wish my Dutch was as goed as your English! ;)

Thanks Guys,

Yes when I start the engine he revs like 800 rpm or so then he revs up in two steps till a 1500 rpm in a 30 sec.. When I give the trotel a thiny blip then he revs down and come's up again in a matter of seconds.

I checked before I post this all the electro stuff on the sensors like wire's and resistants of the goodies the where oke. So I tink it sould be some mechanical thing like the sticky stepper (nice name for a movie "the sticky stepper" :P ) but what does stick in this thing, the valve on the bottom or the axle on the valve?
