Try this

Here are the most common causes of surges, stalls at stops, low erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation, it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

    the cleaning of the upper intake still applies.

Automatic choke problems

Yes, spring may have broken or maybe it just needs adjustment. There is a high idle cam that makes the card idle higher when the choke is closed or partly closed.

Causes car jerk

Car needs to warm up properly so that the automatic choke disengages completely,
After allowing the car to run at idle for a minute or two,
Give the accelerator pedal a quick push to about 1/3 throttle,
Idle speed should drop back to normal running speed and the car drive properly

My 91 vw corrado cooling fan started to run after car is turned off and not when car is running. only after key is off. just started this tonight. i pull the fuse box relay and put it back it stays off....

Sounds like your fan relay needs to be changed. It is freezing in the on position when you turn your car off. Change the relay. Hope this helps, James Booth. PLEASE RATE THIS!!! :)

I replaced the timing belt now the car has a very high idlewhy

Its most likely a vacuum leak or the throttle needs to be adjusted. Check that there is a small amount of play in the throttle cable between the bracket on the back of the intake manifold and throttle body. If there isn't, the throttle body may not be closing all the way.

Other possible causes:

The coolant temp. sensor is giving an incorrect reading. When the sensor reads a low coolant temp., like when you first start the car and the engine is cold, your idle will be high. As the engine warms up to operating temp (about 200 F) the idle speed will decrease. Idle speed should be around 750 rpm when the car is fully warmed (800-850rpms fully warmed with a/c on).

The idle air control motor may be stuck open.

2003 vw jetta wolfsburg bogs on early acceleration

Don't know if it applies to your diesel but most later gas engined vehicles have a 'cold start' valve that supplies additional fuel to the fuel/air mix along with boosting the idle speed until some warming of the engine is sensed.

Setting idle speed on a 2001 vw beetle 2.0-

The engine doesn't have a mechanical idle speed adjustment - VW/Audi have a software called VagCom (the diagnostic software they use) that is used to adjust the idle - it's completely computer-controlled. You have to change the idle speed using the software.
