Idle all over the place

[fitz_vt]

Did everything everyone says and most of the time it idles good but sometimes like this morning it drops the revs off till it stalls. and its not like it was cold either.

so i just give it a blip of throttle and its fine. sounds like maybe not getting enough fuel when its just been sitting there or something :/

you need a new fuel filter and probably have gunky injectors, clean the injectors and replace the fuel filter, if this does not work then i would say its the fuel pump. if not then i would call out a mechanic because thats not right. it shouldnt idle all over the place, does it have any engine noises? like a rapping noise, a tick noise.

yeah I thought filter but i can run it for hours on a cruise and it's got all of its power.

Just does it once and it you give it a good kick then its all good

 

[fitz_vt]

yeah injectors might be the go. i would run some injector cleaner through

Already done that though..

took the throttle body off and i'm cleaning it with carby cleaner...

WOW its like black sludge in there

I'm voting for the vacum hose. wow when thats fixed what a difference it makes

Have you checked for an error code yet? I had a similar problem where just out of the blue it would idle at 2000rpm. I got an error code and when I looked up the code it was a faulty TPS or throttle position sensor (located on the throttle body). This may not be your problem but at least check for error codes first.

no ones played with the tune recently ?

is the TPS something I can clean or does it ned replacing?

 

[WogBoyz]

Nah man the IAC is the one u can clean

Once TPS is playing up gotta buy a new one

i bet 10,000 dollars baised on the description that its the vaccum hose, ive had this exact problem, was skitzing out because i haddent touched the engine and all of a sudden the case was shaking, ideling like crazy and the engien light coming on before stalling. the vaccume host fell out of its boot somehow
