Grande Punto When idle car sort of shivers ? Like it's cold

[Kylethomas94]

When just parked up and my engine running every few seconds the car will sort of Shake as if it's cold and needs a blanket ?
It's not tensioner or anything it's been serviced and cambelt. Just done so ?
Is it just that it's what these cars do or ?

First things first, did you put a blanket over it?

No I'm selfish that way haha

 

[Magic Johnson]

Shocking neglect, no wonder the poor thing is shivering.

Got a good mind to report you to the RSPCGP.

 

[Kylethomas94]

Haha she gets treated well just serviced and got cambelt
So I'm now thinking remap etc buh dunno if I wanna go to 160 ish or get bigger turbo and then remap etc

Do you have the mjet? If so diesel's have a rougher idle than petrols (even with stupid DMF).

Hi mate

My old 1.48v active sport used to do this and i don't think it's of any concern, never caused me any problems and isn't an issue with revs but it's like a tiny tremble, every few seconds, right?

 

[matkin2007]

Is it because you have the air con on, maybe trying to demist screen etc? Mine does this when the a/c is on but I think it's pretty normal tbh. If not I've no idea lol
Hope that helps,
Mark

Clean the throttle body......

do throttle relearn...

if that fails to work

remove air box again

{{
fill plug caps / coil pack plugs with Silicone grease (IT MUST BE SILICONE ANYTHING ELSE WILL DISTROY THE HT LEADS) and blather leads in holts damp start.......


(assuming petrol engine 1.2 / 1.4 8v) }}

I have 1.4 tjet it's just been serviced and done it before service
My air con always off and even wen heaters are on or off it happens just checking it's not a big problem cos thinking of spending some money on remap etc

My T-jet has done the exact same thing since it was new, i think its just a characteristic of the engine

 

[MrMurray20]

Could it be battery related? Perhaps running under charged? And maybe clean the contact points up a bit?

Mine doesn't and never has done this.

If it's any consolation I have a 1.4 T-jet 120 Bravo and it's does the same thing. When parked or still you get a very slight rumble/vibration that you can barely feel. But it only happens every couple of seconds. If you watch the rev counter it tends to sway ever so slightly as it happens. Almost like its on the verge of stalling (obviously not quite that severe). I don't understand why it does it. Doesn't see to be an issue though.

I have a t-jet and it does not do this.

Perhaps it's just the engines
Thanks everyone
