Good day, you experts! I have a nice 1.3 '96 Metro ( 130 k miles) that I really like. But it has a high (1800-2200 RPM) idle which "hunts" between those two rpms. Anyone have any ideas?? I sure would appreciate some feedback on this, it's confusing me no end! Thanks, "vanguard" |

Vaccum hose off of something maybe. Is your check engine light on? Welcome to the forum. |

Was any work recently done on the car? When did this problem start? |

No, nothing obvious started the problem. This morning I will check the hoses and look for any blockage or whatever. Thanks for the question! NL |

Welcome to your new forum, vanguard! Might consider just replacing the vacuum hoses. Shouldn't cost over $10 and you will know you have good hoses. One way to find a leak, which may be a gasket, is to spray the area with spray carb. cleaner and listen for a change in the engine tone. Even the PCV valve can be suspect if it sticks open.

I was thinking the same thing BB. What's to your knowledge has been replaced? A bad PCV could be the culprit. |
