Marc A. Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When the engine is cold, engine will stall and not hold an idle. After maintaining 1,000 RPM's for approx. a minute, engine will idle fine. It seems to do this every other or two engine starts. I have replaced the throttle positioning sensor...and it seemed to work for few starts. But now it is doing it again. Warm idle is at 800 RPM's and engine runs great except for intial firing. Anyone out there have the same problem..or had? I would appreciate very much for anty feedback. Thanks, Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Not familiar with the engine, but with any vehicle with age and mileage, parts and/or sensors become dirty which may affect idle & driveability. If applicable, have cleaned out the Mass Airflow Sensor? Also try cleaning the throttle body, as perhaps these are clogged up which will affect the idling issues you are having. Hope you discover & resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-R-T Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 check coolant temp sensor, idle air control valve and check for vacuum leaks. Could also be an ignition system problem. Like ignition wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
