Title: Tiger farts?
Post by: amschnellsten on May 04, 2012, 11:05:41 PM
Hey guys I have a running problem all of a sudden. At idle my tiger makes farting noises in the throttle bodies at idle and stalls out sometimes at idle when I am sitting at a light. It always starts back up but it will also do it when I let off the throttle quickly coming to a stop. It seems to be missing at idle. I have not investigated too much so far but I have downloaded the tor map recently but I did switch back to my previous tune and no difference. I did rest the tps after the download and I think I did it right. I reset the tps, then turned the ignition off, started and then let idle for awhile. The tps light at the bottom of the screen never turns green but I have the sagen ECU and it does not state anything about the light. What should I look at next?

Is there a way to unstick it or just replace?

You could try WD40 or the like. Personally I'd use Tuneboy (does TuneEdit do this?) to check if it's working.

Usually once things like this start to misbehave it's best to replace.

The slider fit is too close for WD40 Ian, it dries out leaving a gummy residue that'll only make things worse.

I tried using carb cleaner spray, then I took it apart, TWANG!!

The rest is history and £70 odd quid for a new one :lol:
