MrWinkey Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Well welcome to the site.....as for your problem could be a couple things? But more than likely a large vacuum leak..if the car is a turbo you may want to inspect the intake charge hoses assuming you have no CEL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Beauty T4 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 If you cannot find a vacuum leak, try thoroughly cleaning the throttle body with carb cleaner (get it in an aerosol can with a long nozzle to get right in there).Repeat every 20,000 miles.Good luck.BB :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
