INSPECTION PROCEDURE 8
Unstable idling (Rough idling, hunting)
Probable cause
In cases as the above, the cause is probably that the ignition system, air/fuel mixture,
idle speed control (ISC) or compression pressure is defective.
Because the range of possible causes is broad, inspection is narrowed down to simple
items.
D
Malfunction of the ignition system
D
Malfunction of air-fuel ratio control system
D
Malfunction of the ISC system
D
Malfunction of the purge control solenoid valve system
D
Malfunction of the EGR solenoid valve system
D
Poor compression
D
Drawing air into exhaust system
