Any one have any problems with a high idle on there breva?Has any one disconnected the emitions or the charcol canister lacated under the seat?
 
How high is the idle? 1200 to 1400 is considered good for the engine. Any lower and there could be issues down the road.
 
Hi, Did you get anywhere with this problem? I've got a similar one with my Norge. Idles normally when in neutral but rises and stays at about 1700rpm once I put it in gear. Any pointers would be appreciated!

Cheers Ged
 
No I disconnected the Cali. Emitions at the sugestion of someone that had a simular problem,It dident work mine will sometines idle normal and sometimes 1400-1700-rpm.

It may be a stepper motor issue. Some have had luck achieving a good idle by placing a restriction in the air supply line to the stepper.
 
Have you tried synchronizing the throttle bodies and then resetting the TPS?

Some people have noticed their idle problems disappear after this simple procedure (simple if you have the tools anyway).

There are a few threads on disabling the stepper motor in the tech section if you want to go that way.

How did they restrict it In what way?

I've read a piece of plastic tube inserted in the line, or even a carb jet should work. I'd use a main so it would pass enough air to have an impact.
 
Not having the carbon canister on the earlier models I have to say i'm not familiar with this problem and it DOES seem to be related to the whole evaporative containment system. All I can imagine is that because the canister draws vapor using manifold depression through the canister that somehow this means that if 'Too Much' air is drawn through then the stepper is unable to reduce the flow sufficiently via its input to lower the engine speed to the target idle.

Disconnecting the canister would theoretically help in this case as it would reduce the air input to the manifolds, (As long as the vents were blocked off.). Also important to remember is that only ONE of the air bleeds should ever be open. If both are it can cause all sorts of unholy hell with idle speed. I'm sure the method for ballancing TB's has been covered more than adequately before?

Yes Pete I have already Disconnected the canister and ran a piece of vacume line connecting the two vacume lines to each manifold.I am going to try and Reset the tps soon also i get a triangle with a ! that says service but no ecu errors or any dashboard errors.
