Jimny "Hiccups" in Idle

Told you so

Sounds like you had dirty injectors then. Glad you got it sorted.

Dirty injectors clogged fuel pump who knows?
It is a magic fluid , now every 6 months I shall pour this stuff !

Clogged injectors are the only thing* on the fuel side that would affect the idle without causing big issues at higher engine speeds. If the fuel pump or anything else was clogged up it would initially cause issues at high rpms, where fuel and air flow are highest.

Magic is always a good way to fix things though. Which magic fuel additive would fix my kingpin bearings?

*maybe exhaust sensors too? Does this potion fix them?

Supposed to, it is a concentrated detergent (polyether-amine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techron ) , like paying the extra for V-power or similar but all at once.

Actually, I've sent off for a can see if it can fix mine.


Remember that magic fluid they used to advertise on the TV, that would sharpen and set the blades on completely worn out hacksaw blades, just by dipping them in? I always wanted some.........

I can only recommend the BG 44k.
I am VERY sceptic when it comes to these additives and only after a long research I decided to try it.
It worked like magic.
As I understand it cleans up the fuel system.
I cannot recommend anything else sorry.

But I do suggest to try it if you have a hard idle.

I was serious, I've sent off for some. Mine has done over 100,000 miles, mainly on supermarket petrol, and I have heard great things of BG44K, like I said, everyone who has tried it says it is brilliant, but at nearly £20 a can, it is expensive to just pour in on the off chance it will do something. (But if I had just spent £20 on magic fluid, likely I'd notice a difference too )

Trouble is, all that carbon will drop off and end up in the catalyst

The ECU flicks the EGR open for a moment to check for a change in manifold pressure which indicates that its working, if the EGR is sticky then you will get more of a dip but its not really an issue.

As a follow up, I traded my cow for a tin of magic fluid (BG44k)

I excitedly put half of it in, (as it does 75 litres, and I've only got about 20) and went for a run @3500 rpm for 25 miles.

Made no difference whatsoever

I want my cow back

PANTS!! No golden egg for you

That's unfortunate Facade. Magic stuff isn't cheap!

Too bad
But why not according to the instructions?
Full gas tank with a full bottle.
For me it did wonders.
