sonyman87 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 check for an air leak after your map sensor Quote
Robby1870 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Yeah.....a bad alternator will not make the rpm surge. Your first problem is most likely a bad IAC motor. The second problem could be the EGR....or something in the ignition, like a coil Quote
whoyourdaddy49 Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Posted March 28, 2004 the reason for taking th intake was cause i had a coolant leak Quote
Slade901 Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Just like they said probably the IAC. I would also bet on failed TPS. Quote
