    I've got strange symptom in my car. I don't know, it's normal or not.
    When I push the break pedal meny times (it's look like if I pumped by the
    breaks pedal),when car is stopped, I've observed that the free turns go from
    700 RPM to 1500 RPM,...If I don't push the break pedal the free turns are
    700 RPM, but only I push this pedal many tims in the moment, the free tuns
    go to the 1500 RPM.

    Is it normal or not? I thnik maybe the breaks-servo id broke....


    all the best....

  2. I think the idle adjustment is too high, so the added amount of air the
    brake servo adds when you cycle it rapidly is beyond the range of the Idle
    Air Control valve to compensate for.

    I recommend you check the vacuum hoses for leaks. If a leak is small enough
    the idle control can hide it under normal conditions. If not a vacuum leak,
    your idle probably needs adjustment.

    The gurus can post the real way to adjust the idle, but I bet if you screw
    the knurled black thumbwheel at the bottom of the throttle body in about one
    turn the symptom will either disappear or be reduced. Do keep track of where
    it was set originally in case the new setting causes stalling.

  3. Could just be the non-return valve at the servo end or it's rubber seal.
    Worth checking this simple thing first before condemning the servo.

    All the best, Peter.

    If I good remember, I haven't Idle Air Control, because I've got LH 2.2
    system,..and I set the free turn manual by knob.

    and I've moved them, the hall sensor isn't stiff,but I can move it for all
