enigma.
Alright...my iroc is having some idleing issues.. it gets to the point where it wants to turn off at stop lights so i put it in neutral and rev it a little to keep it alive. The lady I bought it from had it sitting for about 2 years and serviced it before she sold it to me. She has all this changed:
-catalytic converter, 02 sensor, battery, set plugs, wires, ignition cap,rotor, fuel filter, air filter,oil, oil filter and brakes. Could it be that the injectors are dirty which are causing this. Also.. the car turned off on me about 4 times yesterday in a time span of 10 minutes as i was driving it down some small residential streets.. I just gave it gas and it would turn off.. alright. thanks.

Re: enigma.
Sounds like a MAP sensor problem.

Re: enigma.
oh yeah let me add.. it runs pretty good on the highway.. should I just keep driving it to 'break it in' back to its running cycle since it was sitting for some time.

Re: enigma.
It may just need to relearn, but relearn usually only takes one or two drive cycles....

Re: enigma.
Trying getting a scanner hooked up, if its having driveability problems it may have a code or a history of codes set.

Yeah if your RPMs jump, it's your ignition control module, hell if you want you can take it and get it tested for free.

Re: enigma.
damn things just got worse.. I overlooked the problem since it was doing better. I barely made it to my friends house. It would start perfectly but then a couple of seconds later it would shut off. The engine would just kinda choke and die out but it would start perfectly every time without hesitation. I noticed it works well when it hasnt been driven for a little while. After I left it off for like an hour wondering what to do, I turned it on and managed to drive it to a friends house. Its kinda hard to describe what it does.. alright. i start it.. and then i put it in gear or even in park it shakes a lot and the rpms just drop and the car dies.. also.. i noticed that while the car is shaking, the battery volt meter is moving slightly at the same pace of the car shaking but it still stays above the mid point so the battery is working and everything..

Re: enigma.
oh yeah and my dad's friend is a mechanic (the friend where I left my car) and he said something about the module might be screwed up or injectors or both.. so.. RallySport92 I think you hit it right on the spot and I should have not gotten lazy and gotten it checked out at Autozone haha. Damn.. Well see how this turns out
