So my wonderful car has started this great new thing where it won't idle. It just dies. So when ever I slow down and clutch in it just cuts off and dies. The car has 165k miles on it. Craig (sazukabluz) said to change the spark plugs. I'm going to check those. I was told by the og owner that they had been done at 140k miles. Maybe the MAFS? Can that be cleaned? I know in my celica I could take it out and clean it. Or the IAC valve. I replaced that in my celica as well. Any ideas? Any help would great

Thanks Risa

Clean the IAC port, just run a search for it. Also, I'd just unplug the battery and see if an ECU reset takes care of it.

MAP whack.

I did that and it didnt do anything

3 area you should look:
1. Spark plug and coils
2. Makesure IAC is clean and ECU reset let it idle for 15mins.
3. Fuel line or pump failed.

are you throwing any codes?

Its throwing codes but they are due to the test pipe on the car. She was running fine until yesterday when I was on my way home from work. She died twice on me. And I thought ok well I must have done something. But then this morning all the way in everytime I slowed down she just died. And the whole way home.

I have replaced a few IAC valves for that problem. Spark plugs or coils would cause a miss while the engine is running so I doubt that they are the cause.

Theres no misfire. My srt4 was doing that when the sprak plugs were bad. Once I replaced them and the wires it was fine.

1+ to the IAC being the culprit. The only code you're throwing is from the secondary O2 sensor (due to your test pipe)?
