My car has like a really bad misfire on idle and there is no way i can race the idle except stretching the throttle cable i cant race it by the TPS or by moving the cam angle sensor or by opening the idle air adjustment screw nothing and it will idle rough and then just sooner or later turn off and i here like a air leak somewhere around the intake manifold but i have no vacuum lines they are eliminated plz help me with what u can ive been like this for a long time so plz help anything would be useful thanx. :talon:
 
sounds ignition related....
check plugs and wires, but chances are youre problem runs further down the line. pt, coil

edit... does it do it EVERY time maybe check youre ecu cant hurt to check anyways

i appreciate ur help but then what is the air leak that i hear and if it was the coil it would most likely misfire all the time the car only does it when ur like 45% or less throttle at WOT it behaves rather good no sign of misfire at all and i already changed plugs and wires it has like an air leak by the throttle body but i cant seem to find it, thanx anyways.
 
i noticed today that all of my nuts on the top of side of my intake manifold were not to tight i tightened them and noticed i had a screw from the bottom corner side that was missing on the intake manifold. I will put that one on tommorow and hopefully i can try to tighten the bottom nuts on the intake manifold. Hopefully thats the problem if u have any suggestions let me know. :talon:
 
do you have power when youre driving?

does it die when it tries to idle?

youre symptoms sound alot like mine, car wont idle, has no power when AC is on. im replacing my iac motor cause i think its faulty it clicks and moves 2-3mm if that.
 
I think people would take you seriously and give you more replies if you'd use some punctuation.. It's really hard to read your post.

When i drive it has power, but at WOT it doesnt like the car is not as fast as before but it has power, but the car is not really running what it was running before this. Yes, it dies when it tries to idle sometimes it stays on for 30 seconds sometimes it stays on for 2 seconds. But sooner or later it would die. Also I do here a clicking noise from under the hood it sounds like it is coming somewhere around the throttle body, or the fuel rail, around the intake manifold area. Also where exactly is the IAC motor located, because I have an idea of where it is, but I dont know exactly im not completely sure. Thanx plz reply back. :talon:
