velorossa Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi I have a 96 legacy 2.2L 5spd that had an idle issue. What would happen is when it was warming up it would low idle ( like 300-400rpm) and the car would shake, but when accelerating it was fine. At first I thought fuel pressure regulator was sticky or something, but fuel pressure was fine all the time. I removed the Idle Air control module on the side of the throttle body and sprayed it really good with cleaner. I also sprayed a little in the throttle body itself. Now the car idles like it's supposed to ! So for anyone with an inconsistant idle ( like always too high or low) I suggest cleaning the IAC before doing too much else ( since it only takes 15 minutes).

Olnick Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Now the car idles like it's supposed to ! Yeah, isn't it great when such a relatively easy bit of maintenance yields such an obvious improvement? The IACV is a great place to start to fix idle issues. Thanks for posting your success--good reminder for everyone. Oh, and welcome to the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on resolving the problem. Gloyale deserves credit for suggesting the IAC being the culprit, in a reply to your previous thread.
