Been reading up on this sensor and that valve etc for what could be the reason for a low idle issue.

I have a low idle...sometimes. other times it works just fine. As in, start up. normal idle, works fine and strong. THEN...as if for no reason, she wont idle properly again. you know...later in the day. Sometimes she can be off for just a couple hours and its dr jekle mr hyde. She will turn over but if I don't have my foot on that gas pedal shes conking out. And then...as if by magic, she'll work just perfectly again...sometime later

I read about resetting the computer. Talking her off the battery for half an hour. yes?

anyone come across this? (I will be con tinuing my research here too)

Thanks
 






You might try cleaning the IAC. I had the same problem and that solved it.
