Hello all and strange idle

Hi all, new to the forum so wanted to say hi first.

I have an odd idle issue when stopping or slowing down and wondered if anyone had any ideas?

I currently have the following setup;

Milltek manifold and high flow cat with a proflow backbox
60mm throttle body
ITG cold air induction
Cosworth copy manifold
Newman cams
8mm HT leads.

I have had the car in at Dreamscience for a Hyper R map and it is due back on Monday to check as its running a little rich.

I have changed the pcv valve and hose but the weird idle is irritating.

Any help would be gratefully received 🙏 😊

Hi Jase, thanks for your reply. Yeah it is, it only really happens then to be honest. It dips so low it almost stalls then picks up and is ok. Pressing the clutch doesn't make a differance if the car is stationary, its just the slowing to a halt when the issue appears.

Many thanks

Hi there. Really appreciate the feedback, thankyou. Just seems a bit odd as the car has never done this before and it seems to have just started.....🤔 Randomly I get a p1132 code so its going back to the tuners tomorrow but currently the code is not present. All just a bit odd.

Mine is the same when dipping the clutch and rolling to a stop at the lights. You just learn not to dip your clutch early. Mine has always had an issue when starting. I have to give it a little bit throttle when starting it up. Dont have to do it every time but sometimes it will not start unless I press the accelerator. Never failed to start just havent had to do it in any other car. Had mine since 2008.

Im dealing with the same issue as you guys at the moment. Ive been through the following trying to identify the issue:

-PCV Valve and Hose
-Clutch pedal position sensor
-Coilpack
-Plugs
-Leads
-Thoroughly cleaned the throttle body and done the re-learn process TWICE.
-Checked all the vacuum lines I can find for leaks

Nothing has worked. Is it really something we have to live with? No mapping or update can help?

Crawling in traffic is a nightmare, lift the clutch up for a split second and dip it again and the revs shoot up for no reason. Driving me nuts!
