hey all, i know i should not have done it but i did. i did not let my van warm up late last night to get home. it was very cold and when i pulled out on to the road and accelerated the van wanted to almost stall out completely for about a mile. then i guess it warmed up and ran fine. what causes this sort of thing? i also experience an erratic idle. the idle is perceivably set at 1000 rpm. however, occasionally it will idle at 1300 and up to 1500 rpms. then it will fall back down to 1000 rpm after driving awhile. sound familiar to anyone? i changed the fuel pressure reg and no help. i have cleaned my injectors with slick 50 fi cleaner for the last few gas tanks. no help there. the van still sorta hesitates in third gear at high rpm like 4000 rpm. could it be idle stabilizer? running too lean? too rich? o2 sensor? temp 2 sensor? fi injectors? i am going crazy here. i imagine that these symptoms are common to any failure in the fi system, correct? ugh... thanks jason 90gl _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
