New Problem. Idle

Post by **GTR-33** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 9:25 pm

Thanks to everyone who helped with the fuel issue, turns out it was the ECU. I have a new problem now. Its the Idle. It idles like ****. I've traced the problem back to the MAF. With it connected it bucks and studders and finaly stalls. I unhooked it and it idled right at 1k, though can't drive it that way. I cleaned the MAF and hooked the MAF back up and it Idled at about 1900 RPM until it was warm then it falls to about 500 RPM and stalls. Any sugestions?

What you have to do is make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks. If you do have these then your idle may be higher than what it should be, which may have let you to turn the idle adjust screw down. Then when the car warms up this may be on too low a setting for it not to die---just some info that happened to me

Check the output voltage on the maf and make sure it is the right one.

Sounds kind of like a vacuum leak though.

Yeah, vacuum leak should be the first thing you should check. I'm still trying to find my leak. BTW, my car would idel rough too, with the hood open, and when I shut the hood, the car would spudder a little and then shut off. WEIRD hey?

Try that and see if you can find a leak. I have been searching for a vacuum leak for weeks. Good Luck
