Engine stalling at idle
Friday, August 25, 2006 4:40 PM
k i have a 1990 sunbird 2.0L turbo 5-spd. about 2 weeks ago i started to experience the car rough idleing. i would come to a stop light the car would idle between 1300-800 rpms then would go from a 1000 down till the engine would stall all within a min. or two. so i replace the IAC (idle air control) sensor but still experiencing the same thing. also it sounds like a miss in the exhaust but have already replaced the spark plugs. so if anyone has anything i should look for or any fresh ideas PLEASE help me out.

ah just throw a damn diagnostic checker on it and it'll tell you everything you need to know. Auto Zone should ahve one unless they have some losers working that can't check OBD1 or OBD0 whatever the sunbird turbos are.
