Suggestion · Original poster

I am so frustrated by this, being told by specialists there's nothing wrong with the car when clearly it is running far worse than I've been used to.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Both independants and myself (because JZM failed to reconnect it properley) have tried the ISV route, made no difference whatsoever.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Help, My 993 c2 has taken to idling at between 1200-1400 rpm once it warms up, this makes driving in traffic a chore. Combined with this it appears to be running rough or at least have a mechanical vibration once over about 50mpf(not tyre related) Now heres the problem... The car has been to JZ Machtech, who could find no fault and said it drove well(it doesnt at the moment) The car is at another independant who advises more or less the same, ie the diagnostic shows no fault at all at there is nothing apparent wrong, latest suggestion is a 'tired' air flow meter. I am so frustrated by this, being told by specialists there's nothing wrong with the car when clearly it is running far worse than I've been used to. Apologies for the long missive but any ideas???

POST 2Original post

Does th idle go up and down for a bit? or is it just faster than before? mine "hunt" for a while until the engine's warm, might be the ISV needs cleaning or the airflow meter fault, but not bothered me enough to do anything about it yet.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No once the car has warmed up the idle settles at the higher level, sometimes when idling at lights it drops down to the correct 800 but not often. Both independants and myself (because JZM failed to reconnect it properley) have tried the ISV route, made no difference whatsoever. Is there anything to do with the airflow meter? except replace it?? Migration info. Legacy thread was 25718
