    'Hunting' at idle........

    Got stuck in heavy traffic in London's East End last Saturday, my W124 300TE Auto moving at snail's pace for about an hour, resulting in a sudden 'hunting' mode in idle but would clear once driven! Since, it has retained that tendency despite a visual check to ensure that all is ok under the...

    C36 AMG hunting at idle - MAF?

    Hi I'm getting my brother's AMG checked out this friday before I make him an offer and I've noticed an odd issue when at tickover. The revs move up and down a bit, but you can feel the car rocking slightly as if it's trying to pull away - bit like I imagine a V8 engined nascar would on the...

    "Hunting"

    I have a 1990 300TE-24 which has just passed its MOT:bannana: . One of the things that needed attention was the emissions. Apparently a good blast and setting the engine to run leaner solved this. However I now find that once the car has warmed up it tends to "hunt" when idling which can lead to...

    W124 hunting

    Hi, My E280 (1995) has started to hunt a little at idle. If stop-start through the town it is worse, but given a blast down the road, it is then OK. Any thoughts. Looking around I think that the throttle body may need a scrub. Has anyone done this before? Is is difficult, or could I do it...

    w211 220cdi hunting idle problem

    Hi all My 220cdi W211 when first started in the morning starts hunting on idle. It's very slight. The exhaust seems to give off unburnt fuel (makes your eyes burn slightly). However, as soon as the car warms up a little it no longer does this and the idle is perfect for the rest of the day...

    Tickover "hunting"

    My E320 cabrio 1993 has started to "hunt" on tickover. It races up and down between 6-900:( rpm. Then, for no reason it will stop. Today though it seems worse. I'm told this is electrics? but difficult to sometimes cure. Any ideas please! Thanks

    1996 W202 C280 hunting

    Hi, A friend of mine has a low mileage (59K) but regularly used C280 automatic. It's a 1996 pre-facelift car, straight six with the 4-speed auto box. Idle speed is pretty low, especially from cold and it seems to hunt slightly when under load at tickover (ie, when put into forward or...

    Engine 'hunting'

    Another quick question ...... Due to having a manual when at lights or on hills, I tend to hold on abalanced clutch.(see 'clunking' thread) Normally keeping the revs quite low (under the 1000) at this point, I have noticed the engine revs start to 'hunt' and go above the 1000 and then back...
