I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 26, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 26, 2011 Stock ECU program, no AP. Had battery disconnected a couple weeks ago when I put in new o-rings at the intake mani/tgv connection. Car has been doing this for the past 4 years, but is getting progressively worse. Used to only do it when below freezing outside until engine warmed up. Now, it can be 60 outside and does it until engine fully warmed to 1/2 way point on temp gauge.

01rs25 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 They should have IAC's, prob located at the bottom of the TB just like any other car. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 26, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well, whenever I've seen cold-start problems on older cars, it's been IACV-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockford33 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockford33 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Looking through my Haynes manual, says no IACV on 05 and 06 models. Instead, uses a PCM controlled motor inside the throttle body. Wonder if that is the culprit and if it can be diagnosed? Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 27, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 27, 2011 Only thing I can think of if that's the case is to take off the TMIC and the TMIC-to-TB hose and clean the TB with carb cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockford33 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Might have to give that a try this weekend if it doesn't rain. Thanks. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockford33 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You don't have a garage? Don't you live like 2 miles from me? 1car garage so full of tools and other crap that I haven't been able to put a car in there since I sold my toy car 4 years ago.... Toy car wasn't even sold for 2 hours before the wife started storing old baby shit in it. And I am only about 2 miles down the road, off of Dolfield.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted October 27, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think this is an opportunity for a mini-meet. My garage fits two cars in its current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockford33 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'll check with my girlfriend, but I don't see why not. Yeah, I'll check with the wife but I think she was taking our son out to another pumpkin patch so I could get stuff done around the house Sunday since we are busy Saturday.

rockford33 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Depending on weather thefultonhow, don't think much car work is going to get done tomorrow. But still down to meet and maybe grab some lunch at McD's or somewhere? Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockford33 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Big shout out to thefultonhow for letting me use his nice roomy two car garage and cleaning up my throttle body.

jbrown Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hey LGT family I think it's time for another meet, what do you guys think? I remember you guys talking about meeting up for a car show??? How many showed? As far as Saturday's go I'm mostly booked but Friday's and Sunday's work best. Just let me know, we can make it happen later on so more people will show!

01rs25 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/00vr6gti/untitled-3.jpg It's literally right off 95. And only about 2 miles away from Agile. Would be awesome to get a group together. I think some of us are trying to arrange a meet at the Agile open house. Meet at the park and ride around 1030-11 and cruise in together.
