  • The reason for floating engine speeds is most often a dirty throttle or idle speed controller;
  • Also, failures in the ignition system often occur: the distributor or its wires;
  • From bad oil, hydraulic lifters can knock already by 100 – 150 thousand km;
  • On long runs, piston rings usually lie down and oil burn begins.
