Sagaris Idle when warmed up....
Discussion
Hi All,
Noticed this weekend something a little odd.
When starting the car from cold its the same as any TVR, slightly lumpy idle, never stalls and all is fine after its warmed up a bit.
But, when fully warmed up, then turned off and left for a while (say hour or two), the idle is very erratic when turned back on.
Temp displays etc show car is still warm but it wants to stall, with no gas applied it will drop to 0 revs and really feel like its going to stall. After a while all is well again.
It only recently started doing this, any ideas?

Sounds like it could just need taking to your dealer and hooking up to the laptop for a tune. Had this kind of thing happen on both my TVRs. Even though the service intervals are 6000 miles, I would find that it would get out of tune around 3000 and a quick pop in to Hexham Horseless would sort things out relatively quickly.
If it helps, from what I remember, cold idle was around 600 and hot idle should be about 900-950.

Hi all.
I was wondering if a solution had been found to the hunting idle when the car was warm.
My car has always started on the button when cold or hot with no throttle applied and idles smoothly, however, recently on two occasions I have had the same experience as the OP.
Parked the car after a good run so engine was nice and warm, returned after a couple of hours and the revs were hunting and the car almost stalling.
By the time I had my laptop out and plugged in (5 mins) the idle had returned to normal and all readings were good.
Not quite sure why this happens, as i said, done it twice now and between the times it has done it ( a few weeks ) the car has run great.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
