Bought myself a puma as a project, it has an issue with the idle, when driving up and down the road it seems fine, however when idle its making a popping noise through the airbox and the exhaust, the issue has all the symptoms of a slight misfire, i know the rocker gasket is leaking a fair bit so there may be oil on the plugs, i have not collected the car yet so cannot remove cam cover etc.
My question is, has anyone encountered this before?
I have done a little bit of homework and it seems people often find the throttle position sensor to be at fault and also the maf and potentially the coil pack.
I have my doubts about the coil pack as it drives ok up and down the road.
It has a new idle control valve.
Could it be some of the 16 valves sticking?!
