Mk1 VRS idle issue

Featured Replies

Hi guys, just a bit of background info for the car to begin with:

Its a 2007 BLT Mk1 Fabia VRS, with egr delete, decat, straight through exhaust, hybrid pd17/52 turbo, s2000 air filter, remapped by ##!!##h at approx 200~bhp/300~ftlb. Recently blew the gearbox up so replaced the gearbox for a second hand gearbox (covered 110k but good condition). Also seen this as an opportunity to replace the clutch/flywheel as I suspected they were in need of being done. So also replaced them with a valeo single mass flywheel conversion kit. I also replaced the battery a day later for a new one. Also had another problem a few weeks ago causing dodgy electronics, as the ground from the car battery was becoming weak and eventually snapped. Got that welded back on though.

So the problem (I say problem, it doesn't affect performance) is that usually the car idles at approx 800rpm. Since getting the gearbox, clutch, flywheel and battery changed it has intermittently started ticking over at 1000rpm. Not all the time though.

Also been having another infrequent problem in which when starting the car, it dies and cuts out. This only happens when starting it from hot, and can be solved by keeping the ignition key turned forward when starting the engine.

Not sure what either problems are, or of they're related. If anybody has any suggestions please help me out haha!

Many thanks in advance :D

Is it a light weight single mass flywheel?
