Hi there,

at the moment I am on the track of my sporadic idling problem (plus 8 '93 CUX14). Sometimes the engine runs too fast at the traffic lights. Some days everything is ok.

I checked the electrics of the speed signal (many thanks to Mike (teknome) for sending me a circuit diagram!) Then I built an adapter that allows me to access the engine control unit with rovergauge.

Everything looks good, even the stepper motor can be controlled when it is removed.

I have come to the assumption that a sporadically failing mechanism of the stepper motor could be the cause.

After cleaning the sealing surface and a few drops of WD40 on the mechanics, the first test drive was successful. But how long does it last? I would like to swap the stepper motor.

Now I've read a lot about poor quality spare parts. Has anyone had a good experience with a particular supplier?
