Recently I've been having idle problems in park or when I come to a stop. Idle will go from 0.5 to 1k rpm. Also been having a hard start in the mornings sometimes. I pulled the codes and it blew my mind when I found this.

p0118
p0113
p1508
p0328
p0103
p0333
p0700
p1792
p0453

One of the codes in there is for my transmission and the hard shifting its been having. Please disregard that.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks for the help in advanced.

 

does nobody have a clue to what im talking about?

 

Start by cleaning the IACV and resetting the ECU.

 

I had the same problem. But with out those codes tho lol... just had to adjust the idle on the throttle body lol and a bad pvc.... Little elbow looking thing in the middle of the valve cover lol

 

Where is the IACV located on the 96 TL 2.5 ? Do you have any Photos ?

 

so i cleaned the iacv. and car seemed to idle better until recently.

all of a sudden im on the freeways and it seemed to be losing power and surging back and forth. i'm thinking it could be the MAF sensor. should i clean that as well?

and also how do you check the voltage for the maf. i got myself a new multimeter and dont know what the hell i'm doing LMAO..

 

@zypkode heres what the iacv looks like. its the one with the teal sticker

 

Somehow was looking at the other threads and came across the same problem as me with 2 of the same codes. i'm looking at the coolant temp sensor. not sure why it would be causing trans problems but its worth a shot.

 

Just changed the coolant temp sensor and still the same problem. This time its even worse. i'll post a video up so you guys can see it. Maybe yall know what it could be.

adjust the idle screw and maybe clean ur maf sensor

 

thanks for the reply. but i did clean the maf sensor. i used carb cleaner and just sprayed inside where the wire sensor is, maybe i just didnt let it dry long enough. its worth another shot.

but in the meantime any other suggestions?

 

dont know about using carb cleaner but there is cleaner made specifically for use on maf sensor. i say adjust the air idle screw to see if it help

 

so after about couple weeks of driving. I can say that it must have been fixed. I think the key was the engine coolant temp sensor replacement. although i would not know why it would make the idle bog

 

Try cleaning out your egr valve I had the same problem with mine

 

Ditto, this is a good start.

 

Hey so its good now? Nomore dying?
