SpeedDemon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Idle Air Control Sensor. clean it. run a tank of fuel injector cleaner through a tank of gas. check to make sure injectors are getting enough fuel. change the fuel filter. do those one by one and see if it helps. does this do it all the time or every once in a while?

xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 you have a vacuum leak some where, the easiest and fastest way is just replace all your vacuum hose kuz it could be any 1 of them. +1 for cleaning the iacv, doesnt allways work but it might help a bit. usually its most likely just a vacuum leak could range from a cracked hose to just the littlest pin hole leak.

cranny Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 IACV is idle air control valve , and it is not a sensor. it could be a vacuum leak. under what conditions did this problem start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
