Hunting VL? - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

Greeny · 21-11-2007, 05:35 PM

Heya everyone my mates VL (RB30) is hunting at idle. Hunting being going up and down in the revs. I am puzzled as to what would cause this and if anyone has any suggestions that would be excellent.

Cheers peeps

Have you checked, or cleaned you IAC , i think thats the right name for it,.. the little solinoid thing in you throttle body, they carbon up sometimes. it may help.

safe bet that its the air flow metre, had this happen on 2 RB motors of mine

AFM or CAS ? Both are shockers on the RB30's

ok AFM = Air Flow Meter but forgive me for being a bit dull minded but what exactly is a CAS?

i agree with skidjocks... air flow meter. my 4.1 falcon had same problem, not an RB motor i know but still a good guesstimation
