Primera 2.0 '92 - Idle speed jumping to 3000 rpm etc

Brian Dam 22 years ago

Hi..

Hopefully someone can help me with my problem:

My Primera 2.0i, 116 hk from 1992, has begun to have an idle speed of 2K -

3.5K rpm, after some driving..

It's not always, it does this, and sometimes it jump between 1.8K and 3K rpm.

When I'm driving with slow speed, I can sometimes feel this jumping, resulting in accelerating/decelerating (hope you get my point).

In the beginning it was mostly after driving on a highway, it did this.. but now it does this most of the time.. after around 5 minutes of driving.

If any have any suggestions, I would realy appriciate them.. since I'm going on holiday in 2 weeks in this car...

Thanks in advance, Brian Dam

Btw. the motor has run 340.000 km.

Early 2.0 Primeras were prone to getting gummed up throttle bodies and IAC valves after several years use. Check out
