    Engine does not idle properly
    Hi,

    I drive a 2000 model Golf 1(chico) 1.4i. When the engine is cold, the car can't idle, I need to press accelerator to start. When the engine is warm I drive with no problem. Asking for help

    Have you had the vehicle checked for vacuum leaks?

    Thanks for the response, I have not checked vacuum leaks, Someone suggested that we need to cleans the injectors. With the vacuum leaks, are there any rubbers that I might have to buy and replace them? When I some time driving, I press clutch and the brake, battery light and oil light switches on the engine switches off.

    Kind Regards

    Cleaning the injectors wouldn't hurt, but that's not going to fix the problem. Injectors wouldn't "clear" up just because the car got warm enough.

    There are multiple hoses and/or gaskets that could be damaged. You'll probably need a smoke test done to be sure.

    Is the check engine/service engine soon light on? Has it been on at all?
