Strange Cold start behavior


Recommended Posts

My 94 started doing something odd. When cold only, it will start normal, then the idle will go up to about 1500-200rpm, then drop to almost stalling about 500rpm. If I give it a little gas it will be OK. It settles down within a minute or less & idles normal. If I start it up warm, it seems normal. I ran some seafoam through the IAC about 2 months ago. It was sometime after that, the problem started. No codes, mileage seems good (22mpg). Any thoughts?

Hi,

- Clean the MAF sensor - get some MAF spray and hit from both ends of the tube.

- CTS - coolant temp sensor -there is a CTS sensor w/a connector for the ECU and a smaller sensor w/just a spade connector for the gauge. If never changed I'd do that, too...but a pain to get to.

 

and nice rare Ti wagon. :-)

Thanks. I never knew about the sub models until I got my Ti. I thought they were all "L". Someone on another forum suggested I replace my CTS. I have no history on what may have been done to the car until I received it. It has 253K miles on it. Is the MAF spray the same as throttle body cleaner?
