peter b Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Vehical stalls after starting, especially when automatic is placed in drive, until engine has run for several minutes. I have removed and cleaned the IACV. Any suggestions ?
SKperformance Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 iacv , the rest is up to you , common on all of them.
peter b Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 I have cleaned the IACV twice now. The idle and general driving is OK, however the idle is noe 400 to 500 rpm.Seems a bit low. How do you adjust the idle speed. I did reuse all gasgets, possible leak?
peter b Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 1. did you check hose between TB and Air filter? What is the TB ? I carefully checked all hoses and dont think any have been missed. There is one fairly large hose going into the bottom half of the air filter box and this is in place

There is one fairly large hose going into the bottom half of the air filter box and this is in place Opps ! TB, throttle body of course. There is large hose connecting the plastic box that connects the two TB's and goes to the top of the engine and the large one mentioned in the last posting, (air cleaner box connected to a pipe going down toward the front suspension).
SKperformance Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 you either did not clean it enough or it is broken and nees to be replaced.
George_Jetson Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 How is the idle speed once it has warmed up? Does it control well when shifted from Park, to reverse/drive? How about when the AC is turned off/on? If it controls well, I would recomend checking the coolant temp sensor. Keep in mind that there are two sensors, one is for the dash gauge, and one is for the ECM. So do not make the mistake of looking at the dash gauge and thinking that it has anything in common with the sender used for the ECM.

There is a slight reduction of RPM when the transmission is engaged or AC turned on, however it does stabilize. The engine wants to idle at 450rpm, I have adjusted the idle stop on the throttle body to 750rpm. I will search for the ECM coolant temp sensor
