Ignition Problem?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 94 Cutlass 3.4 DOHC and yesterday this started out of no where. When idling it will run for a couple seconds and then the rpm's will drop, will come back up, then will drop again and it will not recover and it will stall. I already checked the fuel pressure and it is fine (~40psi). When driving the car, it runs fine but if you go to accellerate it will hesitate a little bit. Please offer some suggestions. Thanks

i'd check your IAC and TPS

What am i looking for? Should I take them out and clean them?

the iac and tps are 2 sensoirs located on the throtle body, iac is closer to the top and tps is below it, try cleaning the iac and the tps

 

oh and is the car throwing any codes?

my bets on IAC

 

Idle air control plunger is probably screwed up or is plunged up and cant move.

Well I clean the IAC and the TB(cause i was there) and no results. I also made it relearn the idle, but that didnt work either. So i am pretty sure that it is the IAC. Thanks for your help will let you know if it worked.
