	| MX83 Idle Problems |  Sun, 25 September 2005 11:11   |  |  |  
	| Hi Guys, 
 I'm having a few issues with the idle in my MX83 Cressida.
 I start the car and let it warm up for 5 minutes,
 drove it to the service station, got out bought a coke,
 got back in, started it.  Heres where the problem started...
 the car wouldn't idle and then dies straight away!
 I started it 2 more times, and it died each time the same way.
 If I use the throttle to keep the idle above 1000 RPM the
 engine will stay on, but the second I take my foot off the
 throttle, it splutters, the engine light comes on, then it dies.
 
 Any ideas?  My mate and I looked at it and nothing seems to
 be wrong under the hood (no vaccum hoses broken or anything)
 and I can rev it to 6000RPM OK and it all sounds/feels sweet.
 I can even floor it while driving and it revs out fine and pulls
 all the way to 6500RPM and changes no worries.
 Its got a higginbottom rebuilt 7M-GE motor in it with about
 8,000kms on it so it should be OK.  maybe a TPS sensor or
 something?
 
 I really need this car to get to work, so any help would be
 sweet.
 
 Cheers,
 Bart
