    Default Car stalling

    Ok well yet again another problem lol.

    I have a vs ss 5lt

    Its done this twice now.

    I will start the car in the morning, it will turn over and start then die. But when I start it and step on the throttle it dose not die so I keep the revs at 2k for about a minute(while doing this it dose sound ruff) then after 2min let it idle on its own and it would not die. Its like the car will start then die straight away but if I start it and stay on the throttle for a few minutes to get it warm then get off the throttle it will be fine.

    **** hope that makes sence.... So could the problem be the tps?

    Mate that is highly likely to be the idle air control valve. I had the EXACT problem with my VR. Put a brand new one in and no more problems. We originally thought it was the fuel pump but it wasn't.

    SS Tank , do yo umena Die or Idle ?
    It sounds like a mixture problem. either IAC as above, or maybe a temp sensor not registering that its cold so its running lean ?
