Just sorting out a the last of a problem i have been having with Clauida. (Details below) And the engine stalls or misses and cares on when you give it a bootful and let it drop back down to idle. Ie i basically wont idle. Any ideas???

Air Flow Meter ?

Have you had it running ok before?

Try using a Uni-Filter with a very light oil coating on the outside side of the pad.

I have an EA81T if you need to try anything.

A filter (fuel or air) won't cause idle issues BEFORE it causes lack of power.

Flow demand from the engine at idle is way less than any other point in the rpm band.

Sounds like flooding. Stick an oscilloscope on one of your injectors. Let it idle and trigger the pwm, then floor and let it drop back down, but not stall. May be easier to get someone else to work the throttle. If the PWM is the same before and after your injectors are probably warn.

The oscope will also tell you how well the injectors are being driven. May be able to benefit from a pull down resistor.

Doug
