Erattic Idle & stall
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Car started OK but idle a little bit erratic between 600-1000 went shopping drove OK, normal idle at lights etc. revs dropping slightly while parking, ride home again OK though no traffic all lights green, however since arriving home engine idle has become wildly erratic.
On engine start the revs start at just over 1000 then settles to 800, thinking ok then, then revs drop down to 500 then surges up to 900-1100 this keeps repeating till the engine finally stalls.
Cleaned breather hose from oil tube to intake elbow, was really gummy, cleaned & replaced, still the same.
Any ideas
