car is idling really rubbish its an sunny n14 with a ga14de, any thoughts?
the exhaust note is really stuttery but not a misfire, runs fine when auto choke is on from cold but when warm and autochoke comes off it has the idling problem, its all the time not intermittent btw! cheers kriss |

Totally different car I know but just with the above mentioned, I had the same symptoms when I had a Volvo S40 T4 and it was always the Idle Air Control Valve that was the problem. Taking it off and blasting with WD40 would cure it for a while and then just buying a new one stopped it permanently.
Hopefully it's the same thing and it's an easy cure then :-)
