Vn Idle Problem

[Doolang]

Just got my vn back from having the heads done.! and since then , problem after problem.

Had the car back for about 4 days after the mechanic had fixed the head problem, and one day going to work car just dies. I try starting it dead. try again and start hitting the gas all good starts but then when low on revs dies again.

Took it back to mechanic he said it was the ECU , common problem with the idle sensor on the ECU. Paid another $322. Next day car has exactly the same problem.

Take it back , now im in need of a idle sensor ? this sound right. or should i take it to another mechanic ?

wait didnt u pm me this question.. ill just repeat the answer.. TPS sensor in ur throttle body.. give it a clean.. if that doesnt fix get a new one!

someone also said to check the idle control sensor ? sound like one or the other to anyone ?

This morning car went ok, was a cold morning. As the car warms up, it no longer idles it just dies. you can not just turn the key to start it it requires some gas to keep it going, drop under 1000rpm it dies

Any thoughts

wait i just read that again.. its not an idle control sensor.. its an IAC idle air Control... might just need a clean
VN - VR: IAC (Idle Air Control) How-To Clean
