Mechanics is a fairly methodical profession. But if there is indeed a problem which is sometimes difficult to explain, it is an unstable idle or losses of acceleration. Whether it concerns a Lancia Beta, or any other vehicle model. But we are here to help you. In fact, the cause can come from many components of the engine block, or even electronic. To find the nature of the Lancia Beta's breakdown, you have to follow a fairly simple procedure. But first, let's see the symptoms of a slowed down idle.slow-motion-problem-Lancia-Beta

Idling problem on a Lancia Beta: the symptoms

Un unstable idle close to stall . This is really the most common slow motion concern. This impression that the engine will stall while driving at a normal speed, or that the Lancia Beta grazes . Sometimes it happens that stalling occurs. In this case, it is really dangerous for the driver. If so, do not delay in worrying about it. We invite you to make a diagnosis through the next paragraph. We can also understand that the Lancia Beta has a concern for acceleration . No more links this time with a concern for idling. Losses of power and acceleration holes can happen for multiple causes. We must avoid confusing these two phenomena. We suggest you browse our posts related to power losses.

Lancia Beta: developing a diagnosis to understand the origin of idling

You have to start by performing a number of very simple checks, just before going into more detail.

Lancia Beta idle: exhaust fumes.

A black smoke comes out of the exhaust. This usually means that the air and fuel mixture is out of order. But also that the air filter is cluttered. In both situations, a problem of idling can happen on your Lancia Beta. A White smoke comes out of the exhaust. This time too it can come from a fault. White smoke is usually water vapor. It is therefore plausible that it is a concern for admission or the cylinder head gasket.

Checking the engine block components

As we said, a slowdown problem on a Lancia Beta can come from several components. You should therefore try to inspect the engine block carefully. Nevertheless, it is suggested to be extremely careful and not to touch the components of the engine block too much, because that can amplify the breakdown or divert the origin of the concern. We naturally advise you to go to an auto repairer for a more suitable check. Here are the elements to check point by point.

  • The first thing to do is check all of the hoses . These can be pierced or even detached.
  • You also need to check the sensors and sensors of your engine block. It is nevertheless complex to check their proper functioning. You can find tutorials on youtube, and it often requires electronic devices.
  • Perform a check of pressures hydraulic. Again, the pressure tests require suitable equipment.

Idle malfunctions are common, however are hard to recognize. A visual check on the Lancia Beta gives the opportunity to have a clearer vision, however it is wiser not to tackle amateur DIY.
