Evo problem

[Ashy]

I have a evo 5 it seems too be idling abit and idles low and a little bit glitchy probably could be a number of reasons help apreciated though thanks

Mine did it too for a while. Turned out to be a knackered TPS. My old 5 also did it and that turned out to be a knackered stepper motor.

Have you tried removing the battery. Leave it for 15 minutes. Plug it back in with all electrics on (eg lights, fans, stereo, air con etc) for 5-10 mins on idle. Then turn all electrics off and let it sit for another 5-10 mins.

^That may not do owt but I was told to do that on another forum.

Disconnect for 1 min is all that's needed.
Idle with no electrics 10 min
Idle with electrics 10 min
Then take for a drive

Correct procedure

Someone else quoted that. But others said to turn it on with all electrics then go to no electrics. To be honest. I tried both but neither worked as it was my TPS that was goosed

Just did the test still the same it was above 1000 rpm before now below 1000 rpm forgot too say it also does drop right down then back up again any ideas thanks

Gunged up stepper motor, faulty tps...
Could be many things.
Try cleaning throttle body with carb cleaner

 

[Simon@NTS]

try adjusting the air screw

 

[Ashy]

Throttle body clean as a whistle where abouts is the air screw ? Not owned a evo llong if u could post me a picture that would be great

 

[evo arm's m7960]

i had a faulty tps . set at .7v but whan running this would not stay stable and made the idle poor and also put the tps out of range, reaching max voltage befor full throttle :0(

once change all was good :0)


may be worth getting checked
