I have a klze with a 1.8 ecu and a 2.5 vaf. It has been in for about a yr 1/2 and has been running great. As of a few weeks ago, after I starting it will idle fine for a minute then almost stalls unless I tap the gas a few times, then after about a minute of that it runs fine. Runs good while driving and doesnt stumble or anything.<P>I havent had my fuel filter changed since I bought the car and it now has 264,000 kms :-) could this be the prob? I am pulling no codes.<P>my guesses<BR>1. fuel filter<BR>2. oxygen sensors (400 a pc at part src)<BR>3. cap and rotor<P>if you have any idea please let me know.<BR>Thanks<BR>Tim

02 sensors can be replaced at nopionline for $45 for universal 4 wires, might try a bottle of redline injector cleaner [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Take off your VAF and look at your TB, it could be dirty. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
