Surging Sportivo

[BCNYA]

Hey guys...

My wifes Sportivo is having some isues with surging. It doesnt happen all the time but it does happen under light throttle. I have changed the air flow metre but it did nothing. Have tried injector clean but that did stuff all also. Any ideas?

Sounds like you could have grabbed tank of grotty fuel.

How long has this been happening for?

If it was really dirty then I doubt injector cleaner would do a great deal. If it doesn't sort itself out, perhaps a service of your injectors might do the trick.

I have a problem with surging, but its only when I hit 6000rpm. I wouldn't call it much of a problem though :D

Noob question, what is surging? And what created it? Wonder if my car does that too..

[BCNYA]

I have done the injectors and the whole fuel system with an interject system but the problem remains. Do these cars ever have issues with 02 sensors?

It is like a strong foward movement, you will know it if happens it is very noticable, it is correct about the fuel but, when i have driven older cars that have **** ***** fuel it loves to surge.

Yeh thats the other thing i was thinking. The car has done 80,000 ks. Do u think it could be that with not a heap of ks on it?

if your also meaning that it has a rough idle as well then its completely normal according to toyota apparently its the way the cams are on our cars and every other excuse they gave me when i complained about the rough idle (im so over toyotas atm)

Open up your airbox and make sure that the little plastic fin in the intake hasn't fallen off. Stopped my car from surging.
