Poor Engine Driveability

After cold starting (temp. -10 to + 10°C), within a few kilometers, the engine stalls during over-run conditions (up to approximate engine coolant temperature of 50°C).

 

Cause:

Throttle blade freezing that leads to reduced fuel supply.

 

Production Solution:

 

Special part:

No

 

Remedy:

Add a drilled hole to throttle blade.

In case of complaint follow the instructions:   -      Remove throttle body.   -      Remove top section of throttle body. -      Fix bottom section with two long screws in a vice. -      Mark the throttle blade approx. 4 mm from the edge, on the center line of the blade. Provide a drill center mark with the point of a scriber.   Note: Do not center punch the throttle blade, it`s made out of a soft aluminum andcould suffer deformation.   -      Drill hole (C14 NZ 1.5 mm drilling)  (X14 SZ 1.8 mm drilling)   Note: The hole must be in the correct position, otherwise the stalling problem will not be fixed. -      Clean all the parts and reinstall using new gaskets.   The idle speed for the X14 SZ must be increased by 75 rpm using Tech 1 or 2.
