having problems with me vectra, it keeps cutting out at lights and its starting to piss me right off, can anyone advise me?
How is it just idling from cold?
i have to keep the revs up to stop it from stalling
At a wild guess, idle-control valve lol. Is it an Ecotec?
is the engine managment light on?
also whats the rev range like normal or lumpy. apart from the no idle?
as above really check idle control valve
the engine magament light isnt on mate
revs are normal
do you have reasonable knowledge of cars? do you know where the idle control valve is on your car?
no knowledge mate to this car mate, i was told it might have somethink to do with the vacum pipes
it might do... depends on a few things. i can have a look if you like... im a fully qualified vehicle tech with 4 years behind me? if you like just PM me and we'll sort something out!
ok cheers mate i will let you know when i have some free time
also on the note of vacuum pipes is there an like sucking/blowing chocking noises whilst running? pop the bonnet and get someone to keep it running and listen under the bonnet to see! thats a typical sign of leaky vacuum hoses!
