43043, funky idle when car is cold
Posted by 1TuffRS, Jan-29-03 03:37 AM
When i start my car, and drive off before letting it fully warm up (read: about 40-50seconds) and come to a stop, it idles like it has cams in it. Sounds good, but worries me. No CELs and the A/F gauge is showing lean when it does it. Any ideas

Ive been having the same problem, well similar and I have NO idea, and Ive asked everywhere I can, even taken it to dodge and they have no idea, and yes my a/f etc.. are all fine, only thing I notice is a low vacuum reading during that condition.

Im thinking it has something to due with ignition timing being advanced soo much cause of the super cold reading on the coolant/air intake temp sensors etc... But soo far I havent been able to narrow down the problem, I have been getting an intermittent EGR CEL but its been going on and off every couple days. My o2 sensor is about to go also so that might have something to due with it...
