RE: Idle problem

I am saying this with 100% certianty. It is the IAC. (Idle air control unit) go to autozone drop $50 and problem solved. If you dont fix it soon you will have the same thing that happend to me happen. Your car will die once you put it into neutral while coasting, this is because the valve in the IAC is getting stuck. Do a litle research on it it is a very common prob. And by the way all it takes to change it is 3minutes of your time and 2bolts. Good luck

why dont you try cleaning it first instead of forking out $50... what if its not the IAC then you my friend just wasted $50...

go to an autoparts store buy carberator cleaner $3 take off the IAC spray that crap in it put it back on and it should be fixxed. If it not your fuel filter might be clogged or the IAC is busted.
