MY10 TK 1.5l Barina manual
The problem started a couple of weeks ago...
First start in the morning (after sitting overnight) the engine stalls. The second start may stall or if it does start the engine will stumble for about 5 -10 seconds.
After the initial cold start, with the stalling and stumbling, the car starts perfect throughout the day and runs beautiful.
I have replaced the battery.
Replaced the spark plugs.
Changed the oil and oil filter.
Cleaned the fuel filter.
While doing a google search I found a tutorial for doing an "Idle learn procedure" (for an AVEO, which I think is a Chevrolet Barina).
Will the following procedure be the same for TK Barina? And would that fix my stalling problem?
FOR MANUAL
*First disconnect the negative battery cable, push brake pedal a few times and reconnect the battery cable. Now the EMC (engine control module) will try to learn idle.
1. Turn ignition ON for 5 seconds.
2. Turn ignition OFF for 5 seconds.
3. Start engine in neutral.
4. Allow engine to run until coolant is 85c.
5. Turn A/C ON for 10 seconds.
6. Turn A/C OFF for 10 seconds.
7. Turn A/C ON for 10 seconds.
8. Turn A/C OFF for 10 seconds.
9. Turn ignition off. The idle learn procedure is complete.
Please help.
Thanks.
