Default Yet an other rough idle.


Ok before you through down the basic and obvious scenarios, here is what I have tried so far.
- checked firing order, wires plugs cap+ rotor ect
- checked for vacuum leaks
- checked for vacuum leaks with propane
- cleaned and checked over the maf sensor
- cleaned idle solenoid
- cleaned the throttle body ( it was a mess )

Need to:
- Still haven’t check pcv valve
- When I unplugged the idle solenoid, the car didn’t run like crap. . . Is this sign of anything? I thought it was instant **** when that was unplugged? I am going to swap it for another one maybe tomorrow.
- I heard it could the thermo? But I drove er around for about 15 minutes, and then after heating it up, and letting it idle, it was still kief.
Its an annoying rolling sensation and has gotten really old real fast.
Any help would be great!!

Default RE: Yet an other rough idle.

do the KOER , KOEO and start from that ..

Bad IAC , Out of range

TPS setting , ECT sensor, ACT sensor lotta things.. or wiring

i had code 12 idle speed high and the problem ended to be two grounds that go from the ecu pin 40 and 60 were corroded right before where they reach the battery ... so everybodys probem will vary ...

Good luck i almost gave up on my idle issue ..
