Volks, i am having a wierd problem with my 2.1L 88........... When it starts up cold, it does not want to hold idle, so i keep foot on the gas for a minute or two, then it will hold idle in park. When I go to reverse or drive it almost stalls or does stall. When warmed up, idle at red lights, etc is jerky and between 650 and 850 rpms.....................if i put in park when warmed up, idle kicks up to about 2200rpm.................. Are these symptoms of the idle stabilizer valve malfunctioning?
