    Ca18 idle, or lack of

    Wondering if anybodys had this problem before.

    Car was fine until taken to a drift day, developed a missfire there, fixed that. Brought it home and left it, now it will not idle at all?

    It starts fine, will run if you keep some throttle on, but instantly cuts out as soon as you let off?

    Moslty standard, big front mount, stock boost, 3'' exhaust.

    Any ideas would be great thanks

    Has the small hose come off the idle control valve? It goes to the intercooler pipework near the throttle body.
