Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: tick over problem
Quote from: PWardy on
I only have experience this problem with Golf Digifant fuel injection and a normally aspirated classic mini.  Both cars faded and stopped as I pulled but started again and ran and drove fine until the next set of traffic lights. Both cars. for very different reasons were not getting sufficient air into the engine to maintain idle.  Dirty / corroded connectors to the idle control valve on the Golf and an issue with carb adjustment on the mini.
Getting a manual and learning how your carb works would be a good step.  Will also help with understanding any advice given.
thanks mate replaced it just before christmas and it runs nicely

Mk2 Golf Chat / tick over problem
Hi everyone!
I brought a mk2 golf for my first car, a 1.6 driver, and recently took it out for the first time learning to start and stop. before it was running perfectly and after a few runs starting and stopping when I took my foot off the clutch and accelerator, it cut out on tick over. When my dad was driving it home it kept doing it. I'm not too sure what the problem is, maybe one with the carb or an electrical gremlin. Anyone know of an issue?
Thank you
