car dies. no fun. help.
Monday, August 15, 2005 9:36 PM
im not boosted, so i know i shouldn't post this here, but i recently did an intake manifold swap (quad 4 intake and tb) and im having problems. my car idles at about 800rpm (lower than before) and when i come to a stop, it dies, or almost dies (unless i give it some gas). i was thinking maybe the idle control valve needs to be taken off and reset and my computer reset. i don't think i have any vacuum leaks... please help me!!! you guys helped me figure out why it was reving for no reason (throttle cable was getting stuck) and i was hoping for your input on this issue. thanks for your time.

dude this happened to me right after I put my turbo on and reset my computer because I had a CEL. Im thinking that after I reset the computer and started it back up I did not let it drop down to the normal idle speed. After about a hour of driving and trying to save it all the time it just corrected it self. I havent done a reset since, but I would suggest that first and just make sure you let it drop back to 900 or 1000 rpms before you drive it. I got mine to hit the right rpm range by keeping it in a higher gear until it hit the right rpm range then it just fixed itself. Hope that can help because I know that is really annoying

possibilities... vacuum, IAC, or TPS. Are you getting a code?
