Low RPM cold stall. 07 Element
Hey guys,
Over the last couple months, my 07 Element has developed a low rpm condition when cold, that feels like a bad IACV, except my car is DBW. It super annoying, and fairly dangerous to anyone else that drives my car, and doesn't know how to drive around the problem. The car will stall with very little warning. You have to maintain the idle yourself or it will drop rapidly from 1100 rpm to 0. After it warms up the problem goes away.
To help eliminate variables it does it with the A/C on or off, any electrical components on or off, regardless of the temperature outside, has developed without any other changes to the vehicle (except oil)
No codes, or any clear indicators of the problem, and so far, I've changed the plugs to another set of OEM plugs and cleaned the MAF.
The car has 17x,xxx miles on it, maybe coils or a bad MAF?
Anyone else run into this?

Re: Low RPM cold stall. 07 Element
Fixed the issue.
A nice valve adjustment and the car woke back up. Bog and stall completely gone. Evidently it is a fairly common issue with the elements.
Just reporting the fix for others.
