Title: Cuts out when warm
Post by: mikemike180 on May 22, 2009, 08:04:27 AM
Hi guys
 
Can anyone advice me on why she\'s cutting out after she warmed up, it seems to be after about 20 minutes of driving that if i put the clutch down she just cuts out.
 
Cheers
Mike

Check the idle controls - idle valve plugged in? Throttle body and air bleed valvle adjusted correctly?

When cold there is a cold start system that will see elevated revs. Then, once warmed up this is no longer used, and the standard idle system will kick in. If this is not adjusted properly, it could explain your issue.
