Rough Idle after hot driving

[Nick K]

This promblem has been going on for about 3 months now. After I drive harsh or on a hot day with the ac on and than park and kill the engine, when I go to start back up it almost sounds like its going to die and the rpm drop low. I have to give it gas so it doesnt die
any comments??

One other thing, On a hot day with ac on I will get this antifreeze smell coming out the vents but yet there is no leak, new cap???

sorry wrote in a hurry

I think you might have a problem with the IAC valve. Check this thread

I don't know about the A/C problem.

Hmmm, I have that idle problem too. It only occurs when the engine is hot and it is restarted after a relatively short stop (perhaps 10 to 20 minutes). I'll look into replacing the IAC valve.

Also, the smell you are getting from the A/C -- I had that problem too. I bought some A/C and heating system cleaner from Autozone and the smell is gone now. It's a spray that you put into the ventilation system to kill bacteria and mold, etc. Spray it into the vent in front of the windshield with the fan set to high.
