88 230ce need help on idle

[ianjak]

HI,

I am new and i from Singapore,

my car has the following problems and seek for help..

As i pull into gear D, the idle drops a lot (300rpm) but then comes right back up to 750rpm within 2 sec...when i pull back into N, it shoot up to 1200rpm then comes right back again..

If i full turn the steering during gear D PULLING, the engine will stall.

my indy mech said i got a worn engine.

things tried: coil, plug, wire, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel distributor, fuel accumulator..

when cold start: the rpm will remain at 750, same as hot...

ANY IDEA PLS AS I WANT TO KEEP THE CAR.

hmm so basically when the engines put under some sort of extra load it stalls or drops in revs i guess , possibly the idle control valve isnt responding to the load quick enough so id check that first , im not sure if a duff alternator could cause this , just for some reason it springs to mind , a compression test might be a good thing to do also to check the wear on your engine , the tool isnt that expensive so its a possible diy job. other than that i cant think of much else atm.

tks for your tip.

i will swap my icv on 300ce 24v into it to see how it does.
