Alright, so the Mini me has been acting up on and off. As of late, half the time she'll run perfect. The other half however, whenever I put out the clutch or come to a stop . .the idle will go down and eventually die. This happened when sitting at a light today, and when coming off the highway I put the clutch in and looked down two seconds later and she was dead, lol. But other times, she'll idle @ 900rpm's like a rock!

So, I did the z6 swap stayed OBD 0, new cap rotor plugs wires o2 sensor, etc. I turned the idle up a hint. Looked for vacuum leaks. I'm officialy stumped.
No ecu codes I reckon

Anyone run across this or have any ideas? HELP! I need her back on the road for good in 2 weeks!

THANKS

Dr.

 

come on now, all these swappers and no hints ? I refuse to believe that!

Dr.

 

try cleaning your IACV, its on the back of the intake manifold with a plug attached to it...i believe its two 12mm bolts...

 

whats the fuel level lke when this happens?

 

The fuel level doesn't seem to be an issue, happened when I was almost empty and happened couple nights ago after I had just filled up.

I'll try cleaning that now, we'll see how it goes.

Dr.

 

I tried cleaning out that, and cleaned the throttle body, didn't change anything. Seems more like a intermittent electical or hose problem, but I haven't a clue.

Any help ?

Dr.

 

The IAVC was my call to. However they do go bad (since our cars are 10-14
years old) you may need to find a new one or at least newer one at a junkyard.
Make sure you spray it out with throttle body cleaner!!!
And get a new "8" shaped rubber gasket at the Honda dealer.

 

what about an intake leak?

 

I looked at the cheap Ebay intake, but didn't see anything. The filter is dirty though

and I have no clue about the IAVC . . but it seemed fine, how do I know if it's not ?

?
