Still have an idle issue

[todras]

Ok here's the story. Car will not hold an idle below 30F. Happened every winter since I bought it. Replace IAC twice and even put in a new TPS. No CE light. Car just wants to stall when the air is below 30F. It doesn't matter if the engine is warm or cold. Strangest thing ever. Drives me nucking futs!!!!

Try cleaning the MAF sensor?

Replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor (ECT) ?

Yes the ECT might be bad. Sounds like you have one of those eBay 20hp resistor mods on there!!

Ya know Todd...sounds a bit like Michelle's 95 except that with her car it wouldn't hold an idle until it warmed up, and then it would idle very low. Her problem ended up being the computer. But with your problem happening in temps under 30 I'm thinking same as the others...ECT. That's a fairly easy job and the part is something like $25 or $35.

Been there done that.

Changed the ECT. No change in condition. Guess I move one to checking fuel pressure. Not sure why the cold would effect fp though.
