I have not cleaned the Throttle body. I know I should after watching videos of that. as soon as gaskets are involved, I get a little nervous. I replaced a head gasket on my 78 Datsun 280Z and blew it out because I didnt do it properly. Mixed fluids, white smoke, overheating all kinds of crap...

Sorry for confusion. I went from 2nd gear and then, looking for 3rd, I slipped into 5th. she bogged down, shook like crazy then, i got 3rd gear and was feeling a lag in throttle. I exited the freeway and pulled over and she stalled.

Damn, Im so dumb at this. TPS- throttle position sensor.. IAC- Idle air control.

Hello all, here’s one for ya... Replaced TPC. Ran great, still is, but after a freeway drive, speeding now and then, everything felt great. Then quick traffic jam, downshifted, then up shift but accidentally went from 2 to 5, engine sputtered, then erratic idle. Idle dipped so I exited, got to a...

hello gents. Happy new year to you all. Im back with some idling problems. took her on a 1hr driven the freeway at half tank. (mentioning gas level as, I was low one time and she was all over the place with idling. full tank then it was fine- I replaced the TPS earlier on this thread) drove fine...

when I let go of the clutch in neutral, sounds like a low whirry, slight metal grazing metal noise. BTW, the idle is great and way more responsive throttle

@hear, you get credit for commenting. Im doing everything anyone on here says. And I’m not sure what I did you get to “so far so good” just reset icu, checked alternator and battery. And filled the gas tank to full. Now it’s running fine. Nest thing to tackle is something called a throw out...

@Chris @macleanflood @JKP @hear So far so good. idles at 700, great throttle response. Will keep monitoring. Thanks gents for the advice and guidance. I never really got into the “engine” on any of my cars. Trying to figure out all the craziness with my wife’s Audi, actually made me finally...

^ checked vacuum leaks with brake cleaner. nothing. then I filled the tank and went for a 45 min drive through town and purrs like a kitten. what gives?

Sorry @Chris, I’m a little trigger happy with my posts. This idling thing is driving me insane.

got attested. even got my own multimeter. battery is at 12.6. alternator is at 14.5. Drove it again and she starts up fine. drives fine for a bit then idle drops really low. gave some gas and she’ll run, but idle keeps dipping

newbie here, I posted about a rough idle after TPS replacement. I disconnected my battery to reset the eco. I hear it will run rough idle, but damn, this is nuts. idle is all over the place. Good battery, tested alternator and it's fine. turns on and runs great for a bit then the idle drops...

Hey Chris, hope all is well. sorry to bother but wanted to get your opinion. I checked the battery, its at 12.37. Check alternator and it reads 14.37 (ive seen online it should read around 14.30-14.50) so im guessing its not the alternator? what do you think? just trying to avoid taking it to...

Much mahalos Chris. I really appreciate your advice and help

Chris, if I can bother you with another question, (mprobably and stupid question) -does this have anything to do with how much gas is in the tank? Im not in the red, but Ive noticed, super slight loss of power when Im near red. Then as soon as shes full, tons of power.
