erratic idling
Discussion
HELP--I have had this fault for yonks on my 5L chim. Starts off fine--steady 1000 rpm--first thrash when engine warm and it all goes haywire--idle drops to cutout point (AND cuts out sometimes) then leaps to about 3000 driving becomes lumpy etc. I have Steve's bible which is not too clear on how to proceed on a step-by-step basis. I have cleaned and checked stepper motor and I have cleaned throttle housing and, checked for air leaks. Can any of you knowledgable guys out there tell me the next step in systematically tracing this fault.

I have the same problem with my 4l chim. So bad that it offen cuts out and wont start again. I found that if i remove the electric plug from the air flow sensor it starts up, then replace the plug and away you go again until the next time. Does this help anyone to pin point the problem?
Martyn--thanks for email--YES, wonder of wonders, it WORKS!! Now what the hell do I deduce from this?? Any ideas Steve?
