that sucks. I can think of three things at the moment you might do. first is your check engine light on? if so it may be possisble to check problem codes by the flashing of the light under your dash on the steering column. its a black box about 3''x3'' with a red light in the center, although you would need a code book. Also, you may check the fuses on the pasenger side fuse box, or at least thats where it is on my 92'. one of those is engine control something or other and it makes adjustments to your idle such as raising it when the engine is cold. other than that you may make sure you fuel and ignition systems have been serviced properly but that a whole nother can of worms.:thinker

Care to elaborate? There are a lot of reasons why your car may not idle. Try being more specific as to what is happening.

Hey, try putting the key in the ignition and turning it.
