Re: 90 RS, Once warm, idle drops and dies

Thanks for all your help!!!

Last weekend I tried all your suggestions with no luck, so I reset myself and tried to start from scratch thinking something was overlooked.

The original IAC was definately bad, but a lot of troubleshooting was with that one in it. Then I had a new one and the symptom never changed. I got to thinking I am going to change it again because that is the obvious thing for what it was doing. So I got another one and it was acting weird but I did all the adjustments etc. and this weekend I drove it and it seems to be fine.

Today I manually cranked down the idle limit stop screw (as it was idling just a little high) and it was fine except when I popped it in drive (with load). It did the same last week but it seemed after a while it fixed itself. In any case the original problem seems to be resolved and working fine. When hot I can step on the gas and let it go real quick and the revs drop really low but it corrects itself and stays going.

In any case I think I am finally past this nightmare and thanks for all your input and ideas....

Dave
