@ hundeyin tosin was your Ac worked upon of recent. If yes then they must have changed the compressor to an automatic type wch every Ac technician believes its repairable. That issue has to do with your idle control system. Its either the throttle actuator is clogged up or you need a idle relearn which can be done with a scan tool |

gambus007: thank u.i dnt tink my has idle valve.have not seen anytin like dat.mayb i dnt knw wher is located.i have done research on d location of the idle valva which is not found.plz,if return d adjustment of throttle control butterfly will it work again?D partspare is not common in abuja.as for camshaft position sensor wen d socket is bin remove engine goes off will not strt until socket replaced.am suspen'ing the timing for dat.please i rily need help. gambus007, I think you need to be expilcit with your (TB) throttle body description. What drives the TB butterfly? I mean, what opens up that valve in the TB I am looking at on the pictures? Where is the throttle cable connected to in the engine bay? On the TB? If on the TB, remove that intake tube on the TB, have someone depress the accelerator pedal to the floor and hold it there with ignition off, then look inside the TB. See if the butterfly is wide open. Ask the person to gradually release the pedal. Keep looking to see if the butterfly gradually close up. If that happens, then your TB butterfly is mechanically or cable driven. The thing is, the images you posted are not clear enough. I could see the throttle cable resting close to the TB, but couldnt see if it stops on the TB or on a sensor on a TB. If the TB butterfly is mechanically driven, then it should have a sort of IAC. You just have to find it, clean it, lubricate and reinstall. After, re-initialise the ECU to work with the refurbished or replaced IAC. You could try Peugeot TPS and MTB reset procedure and see if that works. Find them below: For TPS: http://www.peugeotowners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21 For MTB: http://www.peugeotowners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23 But if really the TB butterfly is electrically driven, then you may likely need another one. A brand new one will make more sense. But the ECU may have to be re-initialised with the TB/TPS. If you can't do these checks yourself, bring the car to me to look at it, since you stay in Abuja. As for what your mechanic did on the TB, I have no comment on that, since I do not know what he did. He probably fiddled messed with the throttle stop, if the TB is not controlled by ECU. But if its ECU controlled, then I really have no comment on that. Good luck. Ikenna |

Ikenna351:Thank you for the advice.With my little knowledge i believe the throttle control has bn damage.before now when the car is in ingintion the throttle control makes sound with little movement.now no movement no sound. definitely i need a new throttle control.my problem is the availability of the throttle control in Abuja.i got one in Apo(tokunbo)which the seller's price was too high.the price will buy complete engine frm lagos.i was discoverd and contact the man who sold the car to me.He gave me a number in ladipo which i purchased toks throttle control,infact he keeps sending different one becose the RPM was on high side(2000rpm).Where do i get the new throttle control?if gotten will the rpm go back to the normal rpm?pls i need your advice sir.your address in abuja. |

If you buy tokumbor or brand new your car will not idle properly until it. *IT Re-learns that's if your ecu (brainbox) has that support. * If you hook the car up to diagnostic equipment and re-initialize. Your throttle body is not plug and play. So probably you have been getting good ones but not following the proper installation procedure. Ill suggest you meet with ikenna since both of you are in abuja. |

Re: I Need Help My Chevrolet Optra by sultaan(m): 10:02pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
I was banned for a couple of days so I have not been able to mislead anyone ![]() You may have misfire or severe vacuum leak so extra load kill engine you know you have a CEL so scan first. @ OP going by the pics you posted those two hoses cut on the TB has to be hooked up tight no air leaks, TB gasket needs to be good and that black sensor I think is the same as posted by Gazzuz clean that pointed end and make sure the hole it goes into is clean I have a pic of mine for a jeep TPS on top IAC idle air controller is black below it controls idle speed make sure it connected

hello guru in the house am back with my issue.i have gotten the throttle control.rpm is not stable it goes up and down.when ever i on the a.c the engine goes dead.a friend is into key progamming.but he does not knw how to do reset for my car ecu(chevrolet optra)the scanner needs the model,i dnt knw if he should search daewoo lacetti or chevrolet optra.pls,do i need to change the ecu?am confused.pls nd pls i need advice.thank you in advance. |
Re: I Need Help My Chevrolet Optra by mayor2013: 7:32am On Aug 30, 2014 |
All you need now is a throttle body relearn and the rpm would remian stable. And I also hope it was fixed properly in such a way that no air enters into the system? |

Re: I Need Help My Chevrolet Optra by mayor2013: 10:44am On Aug 31, 2014 |
Check for vacuum leak. Are you saying your rpm fluctuates. If it does then somefin else is going wrong. Guess you need a complete tune up |

mayor2013: Check for vacuum leak. Are you saying your rpm fluctuates. If it does then somefin else is going wrong. Guess you need a complete tune upno leak for now.d rpm is not fluctuating anymore,rmp is above 2000.i had to change the throttle back to the old one wic is not working,but stable.the new one is working but rpm very high,i have done different relearn method for the new throttle control.i dont knw wat to do next! |
Re: I Need Help My Chevrolet Optra by sultaan(m): 3:59pm On Aug 31, 2014 |
When you look inside the throttle body while it is attached to your car is it closed, slightly open or little open. if it is open look at the nut on throttle body cable and check if there is a sign it has been moves. I wil repeat myself for the the last time here. Several picture of the engine will help to see if there is anything wrong. People might be able to see the engine of the Optra on the web know what everything should look like but can't imagine what your engine looks like |

sultaan: When you look inside the throttle body while it is attached to your car is it closed, slightly open or little open.ignition open up throttle body.throttle will move and make little sound.then i will wait for some second before i start the engine,when i start the engine the rpm goes up to 2000 without coming down.thats the prblm sir.thank |

And throw money at problems without prior research.goodday oga siena.i have the toks. throttle body.i told a guy who is into key programming is like a friend.he has an advance scanner,i told him about ressetting rpm with scanner,he is not aware of it.pls which of the programm will he use to reset the rpm?infact i told some other so called local guru electrian they argue,saying that my throttle is cable throttle.pls and pls which of the programm or tool inside the scanner will he use to reset the rpm.thank you in advance.i need ur reply asap plz. |

If is a drive by cable then you can't reset using the scanner, you can only do that for a drive by wire |

The op sent me an email and from what I saw. I can ascertain that the throttle body is controlled mechanically I.e a drive by cable. So the issue of relearn is ruled out. What am suspecting the "op" hasn't still gotten the right throttle body. Although a physical inspection would be best for a thing like this |
