Ive Just Provisanlly Sold my car and it was running mint but now it wont idle...
When i run the revs to 2rpm and upwards it will jerk then start to drive..

and when i boot it to try and clean it gets worse..Also wen i did the clutch or go in neutral it will rev high as fuck...
And then when i stop the lights on the dash will Flicker and then Cut out...then when i re start it its at 1500-2000rpm.. And will idle at around 400 and sounds shit but maybe because thats it nearly cuttin out any ideas..

as i wanna try and sort it out be4 the new owner comes and gets it..

Mine was Airflow meter tbh on my old 2.0.

Get some carb cleaner with a straw and put the straw down the breather hose from the ICV to the airbox, refit the hose and start the engine... as you rev the engine spray loads down.

It will try and die but just keep revving... do half a can and see if it helps.

This is the cheapest option matey before changing sensors etc etc

Right ive been outside and fitted the other icv i had...No i cant have 3 fucked icv plus i tested them buy blockin the hose off and it just stall and dies...So cant be that..

ive took all the Tb apart and checked for air leaks..My car is revin at 2.5k and 3krpm..
And i got a wiff of Petrol fumes...The Eml light came on the other day when it started to play up...But like i said it wasnt on for to long maybe 3 secs if that put if defo came on...

The only thing left for me to try is the Mixture Screw on Afm....as its revs really high...
