so the s is having trouble idling at a stop. i'll come up to a stop sign and take er out of gear slowing down, get to a complete stop, the engine idles and around 2g's for a quick second, then drops off the face of the planet and kills the car without any shaking or anything. i searched the site and found that the MAP sensor could be giving me the problem. gave her the old whack with the screwdriver, still happening. also saw it could be plugs, but i have my 30k service coming up soon and plan on replacing the plugs and map sensor anyways. any of you guys have a suggestion??

 

Check and clean your IAC valve.

Also, check and clean your throttlebody. That was the problem with mine doing what yours is.

 

i shall give that a shot

 

If it still idles funky look for a vacuum leak then buy a new IAC

 

ok, i'm really tryin to avoid taking it to the stealership so anything that will help lol

 

You in Sandwich IL?

 

yea lol how come? we'll see if the thread above works, i pulled it all apart and it was surprisingly clean. also did the old map sensor whack, i'll do the ecu reset tomorow while i'm putting the intake back in before i take off for work.

 

Used to go though there all the time as a kid. If you were closer to Decatur I'd send you to my bro's dealer.

 

so you are familiar with the Sandwich Fair then?? Whats your bro's dealership? I'm looking for a good dealership and i have my 30,000 mile tune up coming up in 2,500 miles. I'm tired of Valley Honda in aurora asking me if i was going to replace the air filter with a stock in my PRM.

 

looks like its around 2 hrs or so away, i can make a day out of it, got shitloads of fam in peoria, which isnt that far out of the way, and my sis goes to school at ISU which is north of decatur
