Hey guys in a bit of a pickle,
my ej1 used to occasionally hunt for idle (once or twice a week at most, and it would go away after driving for a min or two)
so i had the good idea to take off the throttle body and idle valve and clean them up as well as tighten the valve in the hopes of ending the problem
as soon as i had everything back together and i started the engine it started hunting IMMEDIATlY, and much much worse than before, so i drove around until the engine was hot then opened up the radiator bleed valve hoping it was just symptoms of excessive air in the cooling system (no air came out strangely considering i replaced a hose id torn) yet the problem persists
so what could it be?
on a side note i noticed the throttle body gasket was in dire conditions (tears, tears everywhere) but i didn't replace it and probably aggravated the problem by taking it apart
so where do you guys think my problem lies?
thanks [/code]
