MthaFuknGreen · 12-19-2008, 04:33 PM

does it idle better at stops the more you drive it?

greddy_ek9 · 12-19-2008, 04:49 PM

it idle for a lil bit at a stop but den it jus dies out so i have to play with the throttle so it doesnt die out on me...highway driving its okay

MthaFuknGreen · 12-19-2008, 04:53 PM

so at a stop, itll idle for a second or two but then cut off?
does the time it idles at stops vary?

if you drive it for a while, on the freeway or something, then come to a stop, does it idle better?

greddy_ek9 · 12-19-2008, 04:57 PM

no even if i drive it for awhile it will still die out me..

MthaFuknGreen · 12-19-2008, 04:58 PM

try adjusting your idle screw.

unplug the fitv i think, then adjust the screw.

greddy_ek9 · 12-19-2008, 05:02 PM

MthaFuknGreen · 12-19-2008, 08:17 PM

try adjusting the idle screw first.

check your pcv valve too, my car used to do that and it turns out it was just a clogged pcv valve.

Are you throwing any codes when the car stalls/dies? It sounds like a bad iacv. Change it and go from there.
