Subject: 98 V6 lost idle
IP: Logged

Message:
I've got a 98 V6 with about 85K on it, haven't had a single fluctuation in the idle since day one (I bought it new). Then today, drove about 6 miles on the freeway and about 2 through the city, stopped. Got back in after about an hour, turned the engine on and started to back up, and when I let off the gas, it died. Did this several times, finally, I kept the gas on for about a minute, then had no problem. Drove it for another 8 or 9 miles, stopped, restarted, idle seemed okay, not quite as sure of itself as usual. Any ideas?

Did ya find that idle yet?

Look were you last put it!

Did you try simple things first, like resetting the PCM? Fuel filter?

What is the PCM and how is it reset?
It seems to be working fine again, at least for last night and this morning.

pcm is powertrain control module,engine computer.If you disconect the battery for a few minutes it will reset values,they will re learn as you run engine or drive.sometimes that helps but if theres a problem,theres a problem.You should have a dtc,fault code maybe map senser or iac fault.
