Optional Information

2004 renault laguna 1.6

Accepted Answer

yeah nice and easy you will find that if you turn on the air con idle will drop to approx 600 rpm. If you remove and clean the throttle body at the rear of the inlet manifold this will solve the problem.

Answer

when you remove the throttle housing just ensure that the main seal is correctly seated and not nipped also just ensure manifold pressure sensor seals which sit on to of manifold is in good condition. check these first then if no change get back to me ill be able to give more in depth info including wiring checks if need be.

got car when 10 months old with 6k on clock now has 20 k have had rough idle from start can you tell me if renault had recall with this prob am trying to sell and its putting buyers of

Answer

no theres no recall for this problem its something a lot of techs would of came across. try removing the coils and see if the base of the coil has went brown. if it has there could of been a water ingress issue good clean and a set of genuine plugs should sort that out. (only if ingressed with water). if you are able if you can remove the throttle body it will only take tops one hour and a can of carb cleaner. it is worth while as fairly helps idle issues and fuel economy.

hi johnny

tried all issues today i still have not got rid of miss at idle

could dirty injector cause prob.

Posted by johnny 454 days and 7 hours ago.

Answer

it is a possiblity that an injector breaking down could slightly leak off into cylinder and give a poor idle. also remove the bolts from the coils and start the engine, observe when slowly lifting them out of each cylinder, if the coil archs from the body of the coil to the cylinder head there is a faullty coil. remove the plugs and recheck the gaps of the electrode ensure they are clean also check the porceline of the plug for tracks (black lines). get back if more assistance required
