So short story is im having major idling issue. on start up it idles at 1500 to 1800 rpm, sometimes starts at 1200 then jumps up to 1500 or so. when i gas it it goes up but around 45 sec to 1 minute mark it shuts off. like it chokes out. it seems like maybe its running rich. Any clue? more about history leading up to this point below.
btw my car is an st185 with a 93 3sgte.
so i replaced a turbo manifold gasket, and after i put everything back. on first start up it had this idling issue. ive taken it to two different shops.
first one said it is maf (afm, flapper, whatever you call it) sensor, replaced the maf with a new one.
second shop said its the aic valve, i cleaned out. no problem from throttle. all the electrical to aicv and maf is fine, cleaned and repaired any damaged wiring.
i thought it was a vac leak, but no vac leak. anyone have a situation like this or might have a direction i can look.
because its at another shop now. and this guy seems like he is drawing straws on guess the problem. he thinks it can be the distributor. what do you guys think? could it do with the distributor. if so how? i am trying to wrap my head around how that can be. is he just messing with me? normally i do all my own work but this is something new to me.
thanks world.
