Idle problems
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:04 pm
Ok I have a very unusual problem I can turn the car on when its cool and everything runs fine with the idle nice and steady, I drive it for 30 minutes... Then I turn the car off leave it for 20 minutes come back turn the car on and in park the idle will bounce from 1000-500.  Put it inot reverse and it will shut off....
I had a problem with one of my coils which i replaced, that gave me the power i have been missing for over a year and my fuel economy back, so I replaced all 3 with MSD units, I checked the IAC which had a thin oilly resedue on it?  I replaced TPS sensor with a used one with no change... Put in new spark plugs... No check engine light...  Fuel filter was replaced a year ago... I replaced the ICM with a used unit with no change... Also it *was* stumbling when i hit the gas hard. Problem went away when i changed coils i think...
It runs perfect! Till you turn it off!
