SP20 wont idle when hot.
After some info if anyone can help.
My SP20 will start and idle perfectly from cold. Its drives fine. Once I stop and leave it and then go to drive again it wont idle at all just dies straight away. If I keep the revs up it will drive fine but if i put the clutch in it dies. I've changed both coils, leads and spark plugs. I even swapped out both coils with a spare to eliminate the chance i got a dodgy one. I've also cleaned all plugs and MAF. I'm out of ideas..... Has anyone had this issue before? Cheers in advance |

Thanks
I cleaned both sensors, Cam angle sensor was fine but crank sensor had a large build up of crap so I was hoping that was causing fault. Went for a drive this morning but still wont idle. I'll order a new crank sensor tomorrow. Looks like the hardest bit of replacing it will be routing the cable down the side of the engine (very tight). I'll update on results. |

Turns out it was the MAF. 200,000km with a K&N had allowed a build up of filter oil that caused it to not pick up airflow at idle but would when extra accelerator was applied. 1/2 a can of Contact Cleaner and its good to go. I had given it a quick spray earlier but hadn't had a real close look.
