routine maintenance, now idle is very low
Sunday, July 30, 2006 8:05 PM
i searched to no avail.

just bought a 97 Sunfire Sedan, 155k.

Just changed the serpentine belt, plugs and wires, and today when i went to go pick up my girlfriend from work, i noticed the idle to be lower than it was. It was so low, it was if the motor was struggling to run, it was sort of shuddering. And then when we left and actually stopped at a light the car stalled out and shut off . . . any ideas on what i can do to fix this issue.

any help is much appreciated!

thanx people!!

Well phreakishFIRE: Did you make sure youre spark plugs were gapped to 0.060in, Some times they arent gapped properly, Maybe youre plugs arent seated properly in the cyl hd, Just check and see if they are tight, Maybe one of youre spark plug boots may not be on tight. Hopefully thats helps you out.

Good Luck

Keep us updated.

Make sure your IAC valve is plugged in.
