pajero 3.2 did gen 3 idle question
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:42 am
Greetings all.
Is there anybody out there that can please answer the following question:
what determines the idling revs?
I need to know what sensors are involved, what could cause the idle to be slighlty too low.I suspect that one of teh sensors may be intermittent.
Here is the problem that I am facing. I have asked this many months ago but my problem is still not solved.
When the engine is cold, the revs sit on the 3rd bar..which is perfect. If I engage any gear or switch on the air con, the revs increase slightly...which again is perfect.
However, once the engine has warmed up, the revs drop slightly to just above the 2nd mark on the speedo... This is acceptable, but the minute you select a gear, the revs drop even slightly more which is just enough to make the vehicle shudder and want to stall. The idle is rough.
My aim is to find out how to increase the idle revs by about 80-100 rpm...this will allow the motor to handle the additional load when the gears are engaged.
anyone have any ideas?
many thanks for your assistance.
