Description of the problem | My engine has an intermittent idle control problem. Periodically (every week to two weeks) my engine will have difficulty maintaining idle. The engine starts every time. After 5 mins. Of running time, the engine idle speed starts to fluctuate between 0 rpm and 1200 rpm. The normal idle speed after the initial 5 min. Warm up period is 700-800 rpm. This idling problems lasts for approximately 10-20 mins. If i do not attempt to restart the engine and let my engine rest, the idling problem resolves itself. After 20 mins. I can start the engine and it will run fine without any problems for another two weeks. In addition, if i leave my foot on the accelerator for about 15 mins., the idling problem resolves itself and the engine has no problems for another two weeks. This problem is very difficult to fix because i cannot bring the car to the repair shop with the car displaying this idling control difficulty because the problem resolves itself after 20 mins. I have tried to have this idling control problem diagnosed and repair but the repair shop could never cause my car to display this idling control malfunction that i described. During the whole time period at the repair shop, my car started every time and maintained idle without any difficulties. In addition, when they tried to check the computer for anamolous conditions, there were no problems with the idle control software. This problem has become a concern because it is a safety issue.*ak |
