Cdj1978 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 When I start car the idle is so low it dies, this just started aboutn2 weeks ago. Has happened 3 orb4 times. Today it actually died while driving. I was at a light giving it a little gas to keep it running and I noticed steam coming from hood and I smelled sweat smell like antifreeze. The gauge did not show it was over heating or hot. About 3 or 4 weeks ago the upper radiator hose blew out. It was old , and split. I replaced it and haven't had any noticeable issues. Any ideas on what is going on, or where I should start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 kinda seems like 2 different issues but, perhaps some coolant is shorting-out the high voltage? maybe spray the coil and wires and spark plug tube holes with wd-40, it can displace water.

lmdew Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 There are 2 small coolant lines that go to the throttle body. Check those. Your low idle could be due to a failed coolant temp sensor. On top of the block in the crossover manifold for the coolant. Passenger side under the intake on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
