low idle after restart.
ive noticed this like 3 times within the last 2months. Ill restart the car and it starts to idle real low wanting to almost die. The tach will fluctuate up and down trying to stabilize (never goes past 800rpms). The engine is still warm. Do u guys think its an ignition problem or fuel related?

Re: low idle after restart. (quikrpm)
check the IAC valve... it controls idle warm or cold.. mine went bad and car jumps up and down... idles rough it at all...
dealer cost is like 120... but they charge 220 for them.. i managed to get them to 160.00.... it sucks, cause you almost need the damn thing...
do you get any codes yet?

no codes yet. Did your car do it all the time or just once in a while? Just when my car starts feeling real good this sort of thing happens.

Re: low idle after restart. (quikrpm)
I think your car is running too rich. That's why you have the low idle right when you restart. The cylinders are fulled with fuel. Floor it once or twice in neutral to spit everything out. U should be fine after that.
Also, check that your plugs are good. Maybe they're fouled.
