I am having problems with my idle... again. After warm up (during warm up this morning) my idle will drop to ~500 rpm and feel like its going to stall. It hasnt acually stalled yet but its certainly not getting any better. This cant be good for the car so any hep is appreciated.

Also, I have noticed the throttle has been a little laggy recently with what seems like small jumps in power. The same goes for decelleration. When, say, rolling down a hill while in gear (clutch not engaged) and maintaining speed with just the motor it seems to want to jump a little.

This sounds electrical or possibly a valve? I cleaned out my IACV about a month or so ago so I don't think its that. (although, I am missing a bolt for it). Please help because this is really annoying.


Thanks in advance!


EDIT: Was reading around and apparently adjusting the plastic screw on the IACV will correct the problem, but I have also heard that this should be left untouched. Any input?

 

Update: Was going to clean out and adjust the FITV but took a look at it and the top of the bolt that holds it in place IS BROKEN OFF!!! Is there any way i can get it out of there? I dont een know where to begin with that...

 

I reset my ECU and it went away for a day but now the problems back...

 

when was the last time you did a tune up.

 

thier is a idle screw in the throttle body. you can adjust it. also i put a bolt in the iac. just to be safe. i wouldnt just run one bolt in it.

 

Havent, and the motors approaching 60k so Id say its about time.


I heard that adjusting that is not good for the car and Im not sure where to find a bolt for my iacv. Any suggestions?
