You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

zoggnoff; Does this occur when the engine is cold, hot, or both? If you are having to open the throttle, that's telling me that it is getting too much fuel and not enough air. Loren SW Washington

Absolutely. I thought about that after I replied. Same thing, huh? Lack of air. Oooops. Loren SW Washington

zoggnoff; Does this occur when the engine is cold, hot, or both? If you are having to open the throttle, that's telling me that it is getting too much fuel and not enough air. It's like this, I get in, turn the key, hear the engine turning but not starting, so I step on the gas and vroom it starts up but then the RPMs fall and it dies. I say both. When this recent problem happened I had the engine running, car parked and the AC on high. That's significant because over the past year I could never run the AC at idle without it stalling until about a week ago when I replaced the radiator and did an oil change. I was really amazed at how well it ran after that until all this happened...

>>when I replaced the radiator and did an oil change<< The plot thickens! Check the cooling system to make certain that it is full (that there are no air pockets). If the CTS (coolant temp sensor) isn't fully immersed in coolant, the PCM won't get the proper reading for fuel delivery. Loren SW Washington

You'll have to check the discount parts storers to see if they make an aftermarket version for that car. If nnot, you'll be stuck with the dealer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I'm not a fan of used parts but they appear the same in the picture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I went with the new part. she runs again. idle seems to be high, around 1500. did not bother with the anti-freeze other than replacing what I drained. bought the mikunni brand.
