60862, Bad idle.. getting worse. Kinda repost, sorta Posted by djtrickee, Oct-06-03 06:26 PM
Ok this is a follow up on the idle problems I have been having.
Here is an audio clip of what my idle sounds like when I turn on the car. It only lasts for a few minutes then the car will idle pretty normally.
http://home.earthlink.net/~djtrickee/eclipse_bad_idle_1.mp3
some info:
new plugs, wires, vacuum lines.
checked the coil = ok
ran the fuel out, replaced with premium, with injector cleaner.= no change.
my vacuum gauge is reading= 14-15hg/in at idle but I am also a mile high(denver)
I also no codes and I have datalogged the car, and it looks pretty normal to me?? I can provide the log if anyone wants to look at it.
Any help would greatly be appreciated as I am sitting on my UDP and AEM cam gears, but I dont want to put them on until i get this idle shite fixed.
Points for any suggestions.

Could your Idle Air Controller (IAC) be going bad? Btw no pts needed, trying to help fellow 2gnters. I believe an 8mm socket is needed to take off the two bolts.

do you still have the EGR system in If so thats my guess is a sticking valve, mine did the same thing the valve was sticking open a bit and when it warmed up maybe the gunk warmed up and let the valve close. I just blocked off the egr and mine stopped doing that
