Redeel Neutral Newbie May 22, 2004 Share May 22, 2004 Hi, my friend called me last night and as usual, our conversation was filled with automotive related matters... He was telling me his sister's Astina had inconsistent idling speed and he was unable to explain it. Neither can I, so i'm seeking help from the brothers and sisters here... He mentioned that the inconsistency happens only when the air-con is on. No mods have been made to the Astina. Thanks in advance for any answers! =) eddie ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver 1st Gear May 22, 2004 Share May 22, 2004 Welcome to MCF!.... Do have fun here and join our meetups!! Frankly... it could be the "valve" problem... can't remember which valve.. but I did change that before... also bec. of fluctuating idling speed.

Yeobh 4th Gear May 22, 2004 Share May 22, 2004 Switch on the headlights and other accessories and run the air con full blast. If the rpm fluctuat more seriously, chances the electrical charging system or the battery is about to retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 22, 2004 Share May 22, 2004 Take Yeobh's advice. Always suspect the ignition system (electrical) system first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
