I've driven cars for over 25 years so I know cars idle higher when cold, however, this one is idling EXCESSIVELY high to the point that putting it into gear slams the tranny hard. It doesn't respond to stabbing at the gas to bring the idle down either.....it is like it is stuck.All cars idle high until warmed up
Ya...I think the tranny is on its' last legs at this point. However, I've found that loading the engine with the A/C on and then moving the steering wheel a bit back and forth brings the rpms down a little to allow it to go into gear without that crunch. 8)I dont have a problem getting into gear when my idle is like that on cold starts. Transmission flush maybe?
What year is your car? 94-95 have a fitv that could cause this!Did you reset the ECU afterward?
Did you adjust the idle screw?
Did you check the ignition timing?
Did your torque the IACV bolts?
Again same thing applies!What year is your car? 94-95 have a fitv that could cause this!
Only when cold or does it do this at operating temp. as well??i have the exact same problem in my 94 ls. it iidle's crazy. just up and down. then when i give it a little gas it gets stuck at 3000. and i def cannot put it in gear
