bad idle ka24e
So i have replaced almost everything i can think of that could be causing this. My next step is probably take off the intake manifold, replace all the gaskets, replace all cracked hoses and what not, and spray all the 200,000 miles worth of carbon buildup out. But before i do that i want to see if anyone has any suggestions of what else it could be. I will also be replacing the ecu after the intake manifold gaskets because the dealer wants 5x what its worth.
What I've replaced: air filter maf i cleaned throttle plate to make sure carbon isn't keeping it from closing all the way pcv valve spark plugs fuel filter spark plug wires cap rotor distributor tps made sure the coolant is bled checked all fuses and relays checked/cleaned all grounds i cleaned the iacv really good. I would replace it but i can't find one for a 1990 ka24e i sprayed carb cleaner all the hoses and gaskets i could reach without manifold off. no leaks ign coil igniter wiring harness The ignition timing is slightly off after distributor replacement but it idles the same as when the timing was correct. I can't time it because when i unplug the tps there is no change, idle still fluctuates 700-1000 rpm. Also the idle adjustment screw does absolutely nothing. I have searched for bad idle and thats how i found out all this other stuff to replace. I have also looked through everything the fsm says could be causing this. So basically when cold starting you have to give full throttle after it starts firing to get it around 1400 rpm. It starts up fine after warmed up. It will idle at 1400 when cold but still has small fluctuation. It drops to 700-1000 when warm and still fluctuates. Sometimes it wont idle at all when cold. If you raise to 1500 rpm idle starts surging up and down like crazy. Other times if you slowly raise rpm when it hits 1500 it jumps right to 2000. Any help is appreciated. thanks |
