Nedd help with 86 SVO

svt2000contour · 06-02-2006

I just got a 1986 SVO and am having two problems which may be related (or not).

1) It does not want to idle when the engine is cold. Once it warms up, the idle is a little under 1000 rpm.

2) On take off or at low rpm it bogs down before launching. I was reving to 2500 before letting out the clutch and it felt like it was going to die.

Please help!

I had almost the exact same thing happening on my 1986 SVO. For question one the ECU was throughing a KOEO "C" error of 22 "MAP sensor out of range". I replaced the MAP sensor and it idled fine cold.

As for question 2 I am not sure if question 1 will resolve it or not.

Good luck

Thanks for the info. I'll have to get the code read to see if anything comes up.
