idling like crazy [throttle body i think].... help

Post by B19 GAV »

oh... its a completely standard 1.4 16 polo mk4
been fully serviced, next one is in 4k


changed my standard air filter today for a new one and cleaned out the throttle body abit..... went to start it up and its revving from 2k revs to 3k revs, and does up and down between these revs...

ive turned the car off and restarted it and its doing it again.... turned it off after about 15sec



dunno but looks like the coke around the butterfly was making a seal, once cleaned with carb cleaner it meant that there was a gap... hence the up and down revs, i believe

the old man put to tape around it just to make sure and started to idle at 1k

so.... is there a way to re-adjust the butterfly or sumthing or it is a case that its fecked!!!! cos it not fully closing, u can push it down.... and it will stay closed and the car will idle at 1k, but once u rev the car, and let it settle, the butterfly will AGAIN not sit down properly?????


help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
