ok heres the deal.. my car drives fine. no sputtering.. but for some reason today everytime i come to a stop it shuts off and wont idle... It drives fine just onyl when i come to a stop it shuts off.. I dont understand. The lights arent dim and my battery light isnt on so i dont think its the alternator... Could it be the IAC motor??? i need some help with this. What are your guys suggestions?? thanks.. And i did search for awhile on this problem but found to solution :confused:
 
ya, if you have added alot more air to the car, you could need to reset youre base idle speed.
could be isc motor ya, sounds more like an air problem then anything else though.
first step is isc motor, check the caps in the ecu, if everything fails I suppose, if stuff goes wrong in there, its like car has a mind of its own
 
the most recent mod was a Walbro 190.. but thats about it.. Today i drove it over ot my friends house so he could check it out for me.. It didnt seem to wanna stall out. But the Idle would die to almost stall then slowy build back up.. so im not sure.
 
I had the same problem this weekend....I replaced my ISC with a known good one and (surprisingly, no change)...I then replaced the Engine Coolant Temp Sensor for the Computer and WALA! Fixed!!! I too checkedc my caps and ISC first though.
Hope this helps.
 
it's manual.... ive been gon through hell and high water tryin ot get the right Engine Temp. Sensor. Im puttin the right one in today so hopefully that will fix my problem. I think its the ETS becuase it only stalls out st idle when the motor warms up.. Also when i go up hills or give it boost for a long period of time the Temp gauge spikes up.. Then when i De-accelerate the temp goes back down.. so idk i hope this fixes
 
WTF, Where can i buy a Damn Engine Coolant Sensor that freakin fits my car?????? the one i ordered from napa doesnt freakin work either.. im gettin so pissed.
 
all you 2g guys who replaced this please inform me where you got yours.. please i need to know ASAP
