Spot the problem
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 3:16 PM
My car runs fine @ WOT but if i hold the throttle in a steady position the revs will drop and then bounce back up and drop again then the car will die, anyone else have this problem? here's a vid of what im talkin about:

My vert had a similar problem, in my case it was a bad idle air control valve.

Since the computer uses the MAP to determine engine load I would lean towards it being the MAP sensor. However, a bad IAC can sometimes cause you to throw a code for a MAP sensor. So if you suspect trouble with the IAC, I would say there.
