engine idling - help
Hey Guys
I am having problems with my engine idling, once the engine is cold and I start it up, engine idler is jumping back and forth, after maybe 2 minutes it completely stops, I already replaced TPS sensor with used one and its doing it again.
give me some inputs plz as to where/what to look for.
thanks

only one O2 sensor on a 95 vehicle, and also the LEAST likely problem. he's got air in his coolant system, or low coolant level. possibly a vacuum leak as well... eliminating all those, I'd test the IACV/FITV, and check idle operation with the IACV unplugged.

no lights are on, i replaced the IACV valve and still nothing, coolant was and still is topped up, rad has enough and reservoir is topped up, I checked the vacuum lines, no leaks or cracks.

Why did you replace the IACV and TPS? Did you calibrate the tps sensor?
When you 'topped' up the coolant did you bleed the air from it? If not, that's your problem.
Test your FITV and IACV.. to test the IACV unplug it like B said.. and to test the FITV feel the vacuum over its intake port

sure there is enough coolant in there, but did you BLEED the coolant with the engine running and heater on?

To bleed the cooling system:
With the engine COLD, remove the radiator cap.
Start the engine and turn the heat on full heat and full fan speed.
Wait for engine to reach normal operating temp (you can help by revving the engine a bit).
If there is air in the cooling system you will see bubbles coming up from the filler neck.
Once it stops bubbling, top up your rad and install a cap, double check your overflow resivoir level and you're done!
