[QUOTE="bbklow, post: 392547, member: 6012"] previously, my mechanic sprayed wd40 on the throttle cable, as it was a bit 'stiff'. stiff in the sense, that after revving th e engine, rpm a bit slow to come down. suspect, that caused the cable to 'drop' below the default setting. 'drop' in the sense that, if i manually decrease the petrol by turning the cable all the way down, the engine will die off. so, now i have increased the idling to about 1000 rpm.. with air con on, and at D shift, rpm about 900. took car out for drive to office today. so far, so good. idling not below 600 / 700 even once. now, every time i start the engine, at the first crank, the engine will start. no low idling problem. i have not checked the vacuum hoses yet. is it possible for the cable to 'drop' below the default level? now, still thinking whether to send car to mechanic...
