Idling problems when car isnt warmed up.

ok as the topic sates if the car isnt warmed up it has idling problems. i have my idle set at 1000 but if i dont have it at full operating temp it will either stall out at a stop or idles at like 400-500 rpms and then kick itself back up to 1000 rpms

Post or email me a log of your car doing this. Make sure to log MAP, RPM, VE Airflow, O2 mV, injector pulsewidths, injector duty cycle, spark advance.

i took the car for a drive today..had the ect at 145* and the car stalled out when i pushed the clutch in...the scanner wont track the injector duty cycle %, VE airflow, INJ. pulse width cylinders 1-4

Don't make assumptions that its always in the pcm, check your spark first man, You could have fouled plugs or your coil packs could be bad. Theres also the possibility of bad plug wires too. I'm telling you this because I just had the same problem and it was because of fouled spark plug switched all the plugs and a port n polished head and I got a nice idle and no stall

do the CASE learn

it cured my stalling problems


it idled funny for a little while.. but after driving around a bit the car adapted to the changes and its been driving like stock ever since

I have a similar problem to this which as of now still nobody has been able to figure out, when i start the car up its all good but the moment i start driving around then come to a stop and press in the clutch it goes full rich and stalls

when the ECT reaches 139 or greater theres no problem at all, I for the life of me cant figure it out

Ive tried injector constants, ve tables, fuel pressure regulators, DFCO adjustments, case learn, nothing works
