jtbel Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I am having to give it gas until the engine warms up. This is only when engine is cold. If not the engine will shut off. What parts can be attributed to this problem? I already cleaned the iacv as best I could. How do you test it to see if it still works? Other than the iacv, what part could be at fault? Thanks
steve2006 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Check the engine coolant temperature sensor,if it's faulty it may be telling the ECU the engine is nice and warm when it is in fact cold so the fueling will be incorrect causing the stalling.
jtbel Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Thank for the reply. Is there a way to check it? I had replaced it about 2 months back.
curiousB Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Check for vacuum leak on intake ducting. If a duct is cracked or not fitted properly it will pass air that won't be detected by the MAF sensor and could mess up EFI trimming by ECU. You cleaned IACV but did you clean Throttle body too? If it is caked up with carbon that could add problems too.
SKperformance Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 cleaning the iacv only helps if it is still working , if it has been glued stuck long enough it is dead
