revs sticking
revs sticking
I seem to only have daft questions to ask on here but I have to ask somewhere!
Just noticed while driving around today in my S2 that whenever i dip the clutch the revs drop to about 1500, stick for a second or two then eventually drop down to a normal tick over.
Any suggestions? Or is this something I've just not noticed before - I don't think even I could have been that unobservant tho...
cheers.

Re: revs sticking
Is the car still moving at the time?
Re: revs sticking
IACV possibly. Seem to get a bit clogged up and need taken out cleaned and poped back in. From memory its only like 2 or 4 torx take it out spray brake cleaner then turn your key 2 clicks so electrics are on but car not starting and hold the top so it doesnt pop right off but moves up a bit spray spray good shake out and see if that solves the problem

Re: revs sticking
What car do you have , Toyota or K series ? On the k series cars the idle is higher when on the move , think about 1200 rpm . Don't know if the Toyota engined cars have the same feature at a different rpm.

Depends on which S2 you have, the location on an early K is the same although the shape is slightly different, but with a clear and concise photo like that you wouldn't go far wrong.

Re: revs sticking
Skim reading
But still may solve the problem
Suppose it does depend what engine he has but sure someone can point him in the right direction of the IACV

Re: revs sticking
Thanks very much for the replies...
It's a toyota engine, '57 plate, S2. It's still under warranty...I'm not the most technically minded (the picture and description were a big help so thanks s29ttc- I might just take it back and see what they say - I just didn't want to be taking it back for no real reason.

Re: revs sticking
Question - is it still moving, then dropping idle as you come to a halt?
If so - don't take it back, they all do that. It's part of the mapping. Nothing to do with an idle valve.

maybe it's just me picking up on it now - the more i drive the more annoying it is because i know what the engine tone's going to do!
