I'm having issues with the idle. The car starts fine, I'm watching the rev counter, and goes off on its way to idle, at around 500/600 rpm, it stuters for around a second then finally gets up too the normal 1000rpm idle. It only does it when its cold, i wondered if other 16v owners have this issue?

Sometimes it feels like its not going to make it... but it does.

Also the other day, when cold, it stalled at a junction with no reason, its only ever done it once.

I'm not worried about it, but it is quite annyoing.

I remeber along time ago there was sticky thread about 16V idle issues, was in the days when Robin had his silver 16V, but i never read it cause owning a 16V was a pipe dream then. Is that thread still around?

Also something about 16V ECU's issues?

Thanks in advance.

You mean this thread?
