Uneven Idle & Stutter
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2005 9:27 pm
My GTV6 in the UK ran rich (little black smoke), had an unsteady idle, revs dropped a little when pressing the throttle from idle then revs went up as normal and sometimes missed at cruising or on fast acceleration and was down on power. Fault traced to faulty Bosch temp. sensor on front of engine. Replaced this and all problems disappeared. It looks like the sensor was telling the ECU the engine was cold.
Car is in fabulous condition with only a genuine 18,000m on the clock. It was made in 1986. I am also lucky to own a new GTV V6 3.2 24V and that is great as well. I still prefer the sound of the GTV6. Both put a smile on my face as you drive and look at them.
The new GTV handles much better but the ride is worse.
