hi

my car occasionaly seems to rev high and then low when at a standstill and sometimes stalls, a few of the gagues also seem to go up and down in time with the revs there is also a slow uptake when accelerating. this is obviously causing concern and i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation

cheers

Does your model have an idle control valve, like the S4 models? The symptoms sound like what I have experienced when the idle control valve was going bad. There are tricks to lubricate it - if it applies to your car, do a search!

does anyone know where the idle control valve is and what it looks like

If you are having power loss, it is reasonable that the idle circuit is involved, but more likely something beyond that.

Sounds like same symptoms I experienced that two caps, rotors, and wires fixed. Wires go bad frequently in '28's.

Good Luck.
