Hi all,
I've got a problem with my idle speed. It's slightly high (at least I think it is..I've only had the car a month) at 850-900 and occasionally it creeps up to 1200 or so for a few secs and then drops back. Also after a run it hangs up sometimes.
I took it to Northway Porsche specialists who reckoned that the Idle Stabiliser Valve was shot..I took it out cleaned it - no good, then bought one and replaced it. But it hasn't changed, although I keep thinking it has but I think that's my brain trying to soften the blow.
I've read a few places that the Oxygen sensor plays a part in all this and could do with being replaced.
Could someone please help me and tell me a)how to find it?! , b)what it does and c)if I'm on the right track.
Thanks, Don.
