Starting / idle problems
Currently im having an intermittent starting / idle problem sometimes when I start the car it idles really ruff then stalls or if I drive off when its idling ruff it stalls, I also get a CEL light.
When I read the fault codes there are none, also after 3 or 4 successful starts the CEL light goes out.
When the cars running it run’s absolutely fine, im suspecting that it’s a fault with the idle speed control valve as the car doesn’t get used much im wondering if its sticking.
