Mechanics is a relatively Cartesian field. However, if there is indeed a concern that is sometimes difficult to understand, it is an unstable slow motion or acceleration holes. Whether for an Opel Monza, or any type of automobile. However, we can help you understand. And yes, the cause can come from many parts of the engine block, or even electronic. To find the source of the Opel Monza's breakdown, you need to follow a fairly simple procedure. But before, we will see the signs of a faulty idle.
Idling problem on an Opel Monza: symptoms
Un unstable idle close to stall . This is really the most common problem in slow motion. This feeling that the vehicle may stall while driving at a normal pace, or that the Opel Monza grazes .

We can also understand that your Opel Monza has a acceleration problem . No more links this time with an idle problem. Losses of power and acceleration holes can occur for multiple causes. These two phenomena should not be confused. We advise you to read our articles related to power losses.
Opel Monza: developing a diagnosis to understand the origin of idle
We must start by performing various relatively easy checks, before going a little more in detail.
Idle of the Opel Monza: exhaust fumes.
A black smoke comes out of the exhaust. This usually means that the air and fuel mixture is out of order. Or the air filter is clogged.
