Ok just got the car back from the 3 month paint shop stay, and put ,some fresh gas in it and it runs like a champ...BUT.... It will not idle for Nothing..It just dies..I pulled out the air filters, no change, Its full of 93oct. It will start right back up real fast and then just die...there is nothing that jumps out at me..any thought's ??

 

Gummed up IAC?
Idle circut maybe gummed up with gas varnish?
Other than not idling does it drive OK?
Vacumn line off somewhere?

 

I did kind of here some kind of vacume line noise but nothing i could put my finger on.. I didn't think of the IAC tho..thanks, i disconected the battery till tommorow to see what that does. in the morning, no check eng light are on tho. Yea it drives like a champ !! wot is great it shifts good feel pretty fast untill you start to slow down and come to a stop and thats when it just dies..But it will start right back up no problem there ps sorry for all the bad spelling

 

The new paint at least makes me feel good..lol

 

No luck yet...

 

Looks great, i would take some carb cleaner to the Throttle body and spray the hell out of it, clean up any sensors tat might have some clogging and then run some seafoam thru the engine while it is running(you will need help if it wont idle).

 

Hey, How have you been..Yea i will have to get someone to help keep it running while i check for a vacume leak or clean things,now all the real work starts as i start to put it all the interior back together..it is gutted, i realy want to add that dynomat stuff...but SH-T that stuff is like the cost of new headers.

 

A cheap alternative to the dynamat can be found in Home Depot and lowes. Its some type of product roofers use. Its on a roll about 8 inches wide and is self adhesive. Also they have an aluminum coated insulation thats also good. My friends use it in their Hot Rods all the time.

Your idle problem does sound like an IAC valve, been there. Autozone has them for around $25.

 

Do you konw the name of this stuff? I bought some dynamax today but im going to need a lot more.. o, and this stuff is heavy ~!!! I may try the IAC thing. Thanks

 

a few years ago i caught a small piece of that plastic wiring cover between the throttle body and intake. My car ran like crap for about two days before i finally took the IAC out and found the plastic blocking the air passage. Long story short check your idle air passage.
