Idle Speed Motor

:idea: Do not buy new idle speed motors. I have the Know How. They can be fixed with a bit of McGuyvering and parts only cost about 10 euro.

Actually my fto, when I am at a standstill, the idling seems to go very low. The car shudders a bit and the revs go up. A few seconds later the same thing happens. Now the car never cuts out or anything like that but the revs do seem to go a bit low from time to time.

That normal?

Ciaran,
Its not the same as whats on the link you posted. By replacing the coils in the motor it will work perfectly. It only takes about 25 minutes to do. I will post the details in two weeks when i get back fro my holidays.
