Inspection procedure 7
Unstable idling (rough idle, hunting)
Probable cause
This malfunction is probably caused by a faulty ignition system, improper air/fuel ratio,
a faulty electronic-controlled throttle valve system, improper compression pressure,
etc. As many causes can be suspected, diagnose from easier items.DMalfunction of the ignition system
DMalfunction of the air/fuel ratio control system
DMalfunction of the electronic-control throttle valve
system
DImproper compression pressure
DAir sucking into the air intake system
