How stable is your idle - LCR?

[neilmac]

Just wondered how much people revs moved when the car is idling? Mine moves a slight bit and I can hear a slight wo sometimes...only reason for asking is I get this slight kick when passing through 2k or coming off cometimes and dealer has replaced temp sender as that was faulty but Im wondering about the MAF as Im sure the car is down on power a bit?

If I've just come off a motorway or something and have gone from high speeds to stopped, it starts to search a tiny bit, but not much. With normal driving I've never noticed an uneven idle.

Ta....mine wobbles slightly whether cold or hot...not a lot...but Im trying to link something with this little kick I get when I go gently through 2k revs....but that could be something boost related...odd.

My revs wobble by a tiny amount, barely noticeable on the dial, certainly not audibly.

Mine is rock steady under normal temp conditions and fluctuates a small amount afer a hard run.

I can hear mine hunting slightly...

Readings on the climate control display:

Cold: 1200 - 1260rpm

Warm: 660 - 720rpm

My LCR feels well down on power... Not sure if it's a dodgy MAF or something to do with the so called "standard" map that was put on when I had the dodgy APR map taken off.

Definately hasn't been the same since APR messed with it...

Mine always hunted a little when really warm. Would sit stable then just burble slightly very few seconds. Don't know whether its down to the cams or the map, but its not really a big issue.

Warm: 660 - 720rpm

Identical to my LC (non R )

Mine hunts a little too when warm, seems to be a trait of the engine.

Seems to be quite normal then for a tiny tiny bit of fluctuation, which is what I have. Ta for the replies/feedback.

 

[bentaw]

mine hunts too especially when warm

 

[Pabs]

yep - mine hunts about a bit too (although it's an LC not an LCR)

I solved this problem a few years ago by replacing my MAF, but I fear my current MAF might now be on its way out as my car just doesn't feel like it's pulling as well as it did, and the idle is slowly getting worse again.

Which reminds me - I need to do a TB reset and battery disconnect.... cheers
