Car won't idle, just stalls. So about a week and a half ago i put on my long tube headers, duals, and some TR-55's. Car has been running great, the SES light came on as i expected. Today I went to the gas station. I cut the car off and filled up, then i got to start it again, and it cranks over fine, then it just stalls. I also noticed the SES light was off. I can make the car idle with a little bit of throttle and it still runs great. it just wont idle. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |
Idle air control valve maybe? |
i would get a code reader ind find out what code was coming up. it should still be stored in the pcm memory |
yup find out what codes its throwing...also make sure all your spark plugs have been gapped correctly |
make sure everything is connected right, not just your spark plugs and wires but all your hoses concerning any vaccuum leaks . . . are you gettin a backfire at all? if so you've got a vaccuum leak some where |
i went out and played with the plug wires a little, none of them seemed like they were lose. Then i went and started the car, now it starts and idles fine. I don't know if it was actually a plug wire or my car just had a momentary freak out session. |
