Hey fellow hatchers, I have had a little issue with my ep3's idling. It started out by choking itself out during a normal idle, I have cleaned out the related hoses as well as the entire throttle body and the idle air control valve, I also checked the spark plugs which are in great
condition. I have been reading up on this issue and it seems it could be a number of things. Can anyone shed some insight into this, or share a similar experience?
Thanks

Nevermind this thread! Fixed it up :mtongue:
how'd you do it?Quote:

VIOLA. Also my cleaning of the throttle body/Idle air control valve pushed it in the right direction. It runs like new!
For anyone who is interested, he told me about the sensor, as well as the crankshaft sensor, which works together with the camshaft s. and if either of them are faulty, this problem will occur, If both are faulty at the same time, the engine won't even start. Luckily my problem was the camshaft s. because it is right on the side of the housing, which is easily accessed by removing the intake assembly. The crankshaft s. is below, and much more difficult to get too.
