newbi here....its gotten down in the teens here in texas for the past couple of days. i havent driven my car in over 24 hrs and just now i ran down the street to grab some food. my car took a bit to warm up, understandable right, but would not stay running in neutral, even after the engine was warm. the rpms would drop so low and it would just die. the entire trip was no more than 25 minutes and it would not tay at an idle. help please



comp cams, accufab throttlebody, c&l intake, sct tune

 

Sounds like the IAC needs to be cleaned. Typical problem.

 

thats what i was thinkin....its right on the tb right?? how should i go about doin this? is there a post on this?

 

Yea I would like to know how I would go about cleaning it also.. And where its located?
Because my car takes about 3-4 clicks before it starts when its cold out.. and that can't be very good.

 

Actually its on the plenum. Has 2 5/16screws on it with a hose that goes to the CAI. Take it off and spray it with some carb/ fuel injector cleaner real good and re install it and it should be fine.

 

quick an easy?

 

Yes, quick and easy and will save you over $100 by doing it yourself. And yes, forgot to say before, there is a sticky (post) on this topic.

 

is it in the 4.6 forum?/ i looked for it and didnt find anyhting

 

Yes. Its the one that says.... Tech: Does your 4.6 GT shut off when idling or die while cruising.
