Title: Engine in - hunting idle issue... help
Post by: Jim_rx7 on February 13, 2009, 11:49:51 PM
The car is hunting from about 850rpm to 1500rpm when on idle. Any reason why this would be?
I noticed the connection on the BOV is very bad and a part of it has been siliconed in the past. Could this be drawing air in causing the hunting?
thanks for any help offered!!
here\'s a little vid....

any sort of air leak will cause it to hunt, also the Apexi is probably trying to self learn the idle again, follow the apexi idle setup procedure as if you plugged in the ECU for the first time I think its in one of the technical stickies

Is it only hunting when the car is cold. If you leave it and the oil warms up does it still hunt ? Mine does this sometimes, is fine when warm though.
