GP1138 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Idle Air Control, most likely. Do an idle relearn. Look in the FAQ section for that. Otherwise, clean yours with gasoline, or I cleaned mine with water, but I really don't recommend that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 a vacuum leak would cause bad idle like that, but I doubt it would be a vacuum leak if its that bad. Check the IAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 How much gas did you have in the tank? Low gas+cold temperature=shitty running car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Ive never had that problem and Ive ran with only 1-2 gallons on some pretty cold days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Vacuum leak then IAC, then TPS if the problems persist. (don't think you'll make it to option 3 though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
