RPM drops low when engaging clutch
Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2021 12:26 pm
Hi,
I'm currently putting together my 2.0L 1995 GT to get it out on the road, all is mostly working but I have an problem that is annoying.
The car starts and run ok and the idle is ok around 750rpm and stable. The problem I have is that when driving each time I engage the clutch to shift gear the rpm drops so low so that it nearly dies, it has died a few times also.
Just standing still and reving and releasing throttle fast has same result.
After the rpm drop it will go up to between 500-750 before it will be stable at 750 again.
Checked oil, air temp sensors (changed air sensor, runs maybe little better but no change to my problem)
Cleaned Throttle body and throttle body sensor
Cleaned Idle valve, was very little dirt (tried a used one also I have laying around with same result)
Removing the idle valve connector would raise idle to 1100rpm, it not as stable as before but if I rev and release throttle it does not drop low.
Searched here but could not fins anyone with same problem.
Hope to get some help before I start removing and changing everything.
Regards Jonas
