    Opel Utility rev problem on cold start

    I finally found the issue. The earth wire in the TPS plug had become poorly connected/disconnected. Due to the fiddling on the throttle body to find the stopper you were talking about I noticed the issue when brushing the wire/plug. Thank you.

    Opel Utility rev problem on cold start

    Interesting. I will look into it tomorrow. I have yet to resolve the problem. It has since been to another mechanic who was convinced the problem was the fuel pump. Replaced that, no joy.

    Got a bigger spark plug wrench. Will wait for the engine to cool down before I try and remove the plugs to take a look.

    Yeah it is truly a loss for us locally. Also hate the Chev ones.

    I have tried multiple different clean plug sets and it made no difference. It was one of the things I tried before taking it to the mechanic.

    Will examine mine with that in mind, thanks.

    Opel Utility rev problem on cold start

    I have actually been using non-standard plugs for a while. Two and three pin ones to see if that helps with the oil as a temporary solution. I was strongly considering having the engine redone, when this issue popped up, which I wanted to resolve first before making such a big expense...

    Oil I wanted to check them just now, since they have been replaced recently, but it seems the new ones are too big for my spark plug wrench, so can't remove them, right now.

    The compression was tested during the initial troubleshooting phase, and it was fine. I am not sure however if that was done at cold start, or once the engine was already hot.

    Opel Utility rev problem on cold start

    Resetting the ECU did not help. I have checked but found no vacuum leaks. I also did not find any broken cables or earthing problems, though I do believe my inspection was not thorough enough, yet. A question. I believe my piston rings to be worn, due to soaking of the plugs. Is it possible...

    Opel Utility rev problem on cold start

    Hi No I believe everything is stock, no funny bridges. Will check what it does. I did check the spark before taking it to the mechanic, which led to the shocking (lol) discovery of the leaky plug (all replaced). I will check the wiring myself, for each sensor, from end to end. The vacuum...

    Okay. I will certainly bow to your experience. Would you mind expanding on what/how I should check specifically? This is not my area of expertise but I do not mind learning/trying anything. I had to google before how to check my alternator, and did so. It's not clear to me what I should do here.

    The battery has not been disconnected for a extended period of time for quite a while. Will do. Like, right now. :)

    I mean, I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the car on. Fuel pressure on the fuel line from the fuel pump was checked. The relay was replaced. I don't think the issue is there.

    Yep, check the original post. The coil was replaced,and after everything else the old coil was put back, it performed worse so the new coil was reinstalled.
