Land Rover Range Rover Evoque idle surging with potential stalling when cold and changing gears on Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Some Land Rover Range Rover Evoque owners report experiencing idle surging and potential stalling, particularly when the engine is cold or during gear changes. These issues may manifest as an unstable idle that approaches stall, which is often indicative of a faulty idle system. Common causes include vacuum leaks and spark plug problems, which can lead to a rough idle. Additionally, some owners notice shaking at idle, potentially due to ignition system issues, fuel rail problems, or a malfunctioning throttle body. Stalling events can occur when the engine is warmed up and then restarted before settling into a normal idle speed, particularly at red lights or low speeds, posing serious safety concerns. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues promptly.
