surging idle

[x91s13shawnx]

My ka24de will not idle. I have asked everyone i know for help and im still stumped. I also have to pump the gas a little bit for it to start. Sometimes it will idle but not very long and then it surges up and down and then it dies.

Check your idle air control valve, it might be malfunctioning.

zerothread?id=251133Great info on how to take off the idle air control valve, it's a bit tricky if you got big hands though.

It's sort of hard to diagnose without knowing much about your car.How are the injectors? Spark plugs? etc...

Most likely your idle air control valve isn't working properly.Good luck!
