1997 Q45 idle and stall issues
OK i am very new to boards and my q45 so please bear with me here...I am haveing a strange problem with my baby. Upon start up she idles normal for a second...then drops like a rock sometimes stalls sometimes catches itself and reves back up. Also I smell gas inside the car. I have done plugs( yes the correct OEM original platinum lazer ones) and new coils , also both TBS sensors..please help me!! I love her but shes driving me nutz!!! LOL I am also haveing a few interior lighting issues but I am alot more worried about the mechanical stuff. Once warm she drives like a dream! Plenty of power and grace..

check codes for trouble areas,it is obd2 which should make it easy to diagnose.

Re: 1997 Q45 idle and stall issues
An EGR valve stuck open.
IACV, idle air control valve not operating correctly
TPS not set correctly
MAF sensor dirty
?
What range is she idling at.
Does it only happen when cold, on first start up warm or cold.
When warmed up does she run good, idle good?
More info=more helpful, info can be givin.
Cheers

Re: 1997 Q45 idle and stall issues
Mine does this every now and then. She runs great after the hiccup if I can keep it going long enough to warm (on the 2 occasions it has happened).
Just did it again while on break at work, it died twice after trying to run for a few seconds. I just replaced the MAF and air filter and I have no other problems I know of, nor codes. Recently installed some LED's and HIDs but that shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Amendment: I actually had the fans running for a moment prior to ignition.. (maybe a minute, two)
tried her again just a little while ago, and she started, warmed, and ran just fine

Re: 1997 Q45 idle and stall issues
Cleaned my IACV which helped a little bit with the stalling, but she almost stalled again at a stop this morning on a drive to Seattle. Might check the TPS later when I'm back home. I read in the FSM the resistance I should be seeing on the sensor.
Jttoka what did you mean by not set correctly? Isn't it one of those things that either works or it doesn't?
