low / inconsistant idle

Hi All,

I've just purchased a 2006 1.6 TS2 with 65k on the clock. I've been experiencing some issues when the car is warm (a/c on or off, has no effect) when idling. At traffic lights the car will be ticking over at 700 ish rpm and then suddenly drop to say 500rpm and then bounce back to 700 rpm.

I've done some reading on the forums and have checked the following items

- Air filter is clean.
- Throttle body has been checked - its clean
- MAF is clean.
- There are no error codes.

Can anyone else recommend anything?

Thanks

Mark

Hi again... Quick up date : when I unplug the MAF sensor the car idles lovely. As soon as I plug it back in the low idle fault re occurs. I have purchased a new MAF sensor but the problem is still there!!!

Can anyone shed any light?

mdickin19, I'd probably look at the 02 sensor.

KHurrs, it seems like you're posting alright. Are you having trouble starting a thread or something?
