98 Caldina GTT - Idle

Postby WanaGo » Sun Sep 07, 2008 4:14 pm

Hey,

My Caldina GTT (auto) seems to idle just above 500rpm lately. I dont recall it idling this low normally. It seems a bit too low, as you get the odd mis sort of sound every now and then, and you can feel its running a bit slow... sort of vibrates. only to a very minor level though.

I was wondering if there is an idle adjustment screw, or if this is all done automatically?
Could something be leaking?

Thanks

i'd say the idle solenoid thing under the throttle body is probably stuck closed.
