The first tiny bit of my throttle pedal lowers the revs of the car rather than highering them Confused if y'get what I mean. Example; I am at a junction, I go to pull away so I press the throttle in a tiny bit in preperation to find the bite point, and the revs lower.......and as quite often happens, this lowering of the revs will happen at the same time as I start to find bite point........which results in a stall. Slightly annoying. And don't say "learn how to pull away" lol, cuz it happens when I'm sat there idling and not moving anywhere. Just press throttle a tiny bit and car struggles a bit and loses revs. Goes down to like 400 or 500 and shudders a bit y'know.

I don't really care cuz it doesn't seem to affect the car, and it only does it sometimes, but just wondered if anyone was like "ah yeah, I know, that'll be your.....thingy ma whatsit" y'know. Cheers

mine does it to.

But it only happens if the throttles opened about 1mm at most!

Just a conflict between the ICV and TPS I think to be honest.

Just rev it a tad more.

it onyl goes that low on cars with either dodgy base idle settings or manky TB's normally it drops to 7/800rpm.

Yeah, same here Chris, only happens when throttle's open about 1mm. I'm not actually 100% sure what revs it drops down to. I'm just sure it was half the amount it normall idles at, which is about 900rpm ish I think? Ah well, like I said, I'm not too worried cuz the car still works. Cheers
