Intermitent Idling Problem
I have a 1989 Lebaron convertible with a 2.2 turbo auto trans.
Here is the problem:
Sometimes after sitting overnight it is hard to start and once it does it will not idle on its own. If I keep my foot on the accelerater or put it in drive with one foot on the brake and other on the gas and drive for a block I hear a click and it will idle on its own(And run like a top). The problem is intermitent and may not return for a week or more.
I replaced the fuel pump not long ago but it had the same problem before the pump went. Also have replaced the fuel filter.
Any help appreciated.

I would check the codes at autozone. Sounds like an Idle air control valve malfunction...
