Im trying to get as much work done to the car (digi 8v mk2) while im here at home for xmas,
so ive been looking to clean the throttle body for ages!
so i tried taking it off but the allen bolts were rounded already so i thought...
why not just spray in the carb cleaner into the throttle body w/ it on the car, with the throttle closed..
did that, but now with everything back where i found it, the car will only start from time to time
and idle at around 500rpm for 20secs or so, then die again.
Gonna leave it sit for a while incase its flooded but...
Any ideas whats wrong with it, or how to fix it?!
what kind of bother would show if the airflow meter was shot?
