Hi Guys
I have a 96 spi that will not idle. it got a new temp sensor and throttle body. I have checked all connections, pins, wiring and sensor readings. it starts ok, revs fine no misfires or bangs. just wont idle. I would be grateful for any ideas on this.

Cheak the hoses around the airfilter and throttle body and also the pipe to the servo. The servo pipe is a push fit and a little greese around the end can help it seal better.

Re: 96 SPI not idleing
Thanks to all for your help tryed all that has been passed on. found a few things that could be the cause not to sure. next step does anyone know where I can get the diagnostic codes read out of the engine management. Is there a code checking tool that can be bought from some tool supliers. eg snap on, sealey or ????

Re: 96 SPI not idleing
I happened to be flicking through an Argos catalogue yesterday and they have an RAC reader. Don't know if it works on Minis though
