erratic idling,hesitating,stalling micra

[paulcutts]

Hi everyone, i've recently purchase a 1.3 super s which has just started to play up.
Firstly the car keeps stalling,this happens when slowing down or coming to a stop , the revs go up and down and eventually the engine stalls-re starts immediately.
The car is also hesitating on accelaration. I've fitted new plugs and air filter but noticed that it doesn't have a PCV filter fitted - would this cause any of these problems?
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated this is driving me round the bend
cheers Paul

your throttle body either needs repair or replacement, do a search, it's a very common problem.

What he said ^

I see you're in Herts. If you wish, I can perform said repair for you.

Many thanks Willenium thats much appreciated-I tried the throttle body repair this am and am hoping it will solve the problem - at least in the short term , i'll let you know if it works! thanks again

I have this problem but i'm up North. Wirral/Chester way.

BINGO - performed the throttle body soldering surgery and it's like driving a new car,no hesitation and no stalling - i cant beleive such a simple repair can make so much difference.

I will check my throttle body. What signs shall i look for?

 

[paulcutts]

there is a really useful guide knocking around on here somewhere , just have a look through the posts regarding throttle bodies,it explains everything you need to do on there

Are the manifolds a pin in the neck to fit? are they cheap?

I heard that to identify my problem i could borrow a throttle body off another car for an hour?

They are pretty easy to swap, 4 bolts, 4 plugs and two water hoses (and the airbox of course).
You can get them fairly cheaply from a scrappy, but then there's no guarantee that it iwll work fine, so the soldering method is generally best.
