Poor idle stalls out
Posted: May 28th, 2012, 5:29 pm
Hello All
I have a 96 MX-3 Canadian 5 speed Model that has 104 000 kms on it. The problem I am having is when the car gets up to operating temperature the car the car idles poorly and after awhile it will stall out. I have had the car to the dealership and according to the code it was the egr valve solinod and they checked the egr valve it seemed ok. I changed that and it seemed to help for about a month but now again it is stalling out.
The car runs well and drives well, it just the problem with the idle. When I put my foot on the clutch to start to slow down for a light or a corner the idle drops to about 300 and will jump around between 300 to 700 then it will settle out at about 400 or stall out. Has any one else experienced this problem?
Thanks
Terry
