idle issue

MA70-3.0GT · 10-28-2009, 05:40 PM

Hi, I'm currently looking at buying a 1989 MA70 with 7M-GTEU 3.0turbo motor & autobox. The car has a running fault at the moment, I haven't heard it yet as the guy with the battery booster & immobiliser fob wasn't there, I'm going back tomorrow for a listen.

From what I'm told it makes plenty of power & is OK on throttle but just runs rough & stalls at tickover speed (fine if it's wound up a bit though).

I'm thinking possibly a CTS fault or vacuum leak but if anyone here has experience of this type of fault & it's causes then my ears are pinned back in anticipation!

Cheers, Dan.
