The motor is 100% stock. This problem started about 1 month ago.<br />When the car hasn't been driven for a while (cold motor), if you start the car, it will start, stay on for maybe a second, then the RPM's drop, and the car shuts off. If you continue to start the car about 4-5 times, it'll finally stay on. Once the car warms up a little (maybe 15 seconds of idling), it behaves 100% normally.<br /><br />Another thing, if during the initial startup, I rest my foot on the gas a little, it will not die. If I hold the gas for maybe 5-10 seconds in this position and then let go, the car will idle normally.<br /><br />Any ideas? Some background... I ran codes and both KOEO and KOER came back "11's" so the computer isn't spitting any codes at me.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated. Thanks<br />Luke <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>WyldGurl</b> <br /><small>Member # 1847</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,10,22,11,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> hmmmm... i don't know what it is, but my car is having what sounds like the same problem. anyone got any ideas???? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,10,22,12,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If you don't have any vacuum leaks, grab a lucky penny and use it to tighten your idle screw 0.5-1 turn.
