Funky Idle 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Blake on  Mon Sep 13 04:20 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Here you are Brickboard,

Ok, So every so often I start my car (generally the first time of the day/engine is still cold), It fires right up, about 1100rpm, drops to 600 rpms, then the engine misses and dies. If I start the car and give it a little gas its alright, intill i take my foot off. The only way i can keep it running is keep the RPM up around 1100 for about 15 seconds, then the idle evens out and the car runs fine. Now, like I said eariler, it only does this when the engine is cold ( I live in Flordia, It doesn't get THAT cold), but sometimes it does it randomly, with the same problems with the idle. Most of the time the engine starts right up and no idle problems. Everythings tight, spark plugs are new, wires aren't bad, caps ok. It reminds me of when you start the car with the MAF off, but then again, it usually doesn't stall, the computer shows no errors, all test are 1-1-1. I'm out of ideas, you gentlemen got anything?

Thanks everyone,
Blakle
