hey guys,

I have recently pulled the stag apart and detailed the engine bay, and put it all back together on the wkend it started first shot no worries but when I accelerate and take my foot off the gas the car struggles to idle and cuts out sometimes.. I removed the plenum, throttle body, rocker covers etc.. just wondering if anyone has had this problem at all.. any info would be great..

cheers guys

Did u plug ur idle control solenoid back in? Double check all plugs and hoses that you touched and even stuff u didn't, it's posible u left something undone or knocked it loose. If it only started playing up after u touched it then there is a 99% chance it's something u have done

hey guys,

thanks for the reply's.. I have looked over the car every where.. maybe I put vacume line on in a different spot somewhere but pretty sure there all back in the same spot hopefully.. :( the only vacume line that I wasn't sure of is the one under the bov??

Its not the BOV; the BOV story rings some truth but its right up there with coilpacks being the fix for 90% of problems according to the forums...theres likely still an underlying issue.

Definitely find the tutorial and give the AAC valve a clean. Made a big difference when we had low speed/snap throttle closed stall issues with our S1. Curiously replacing the O2 sensor also helped, though ours appeared to be the original item.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
