BoostedBimmer Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ok, for a few times now, when I come to a light and idle, the RPMs would dip really low and the car would die out. I put it in neutral and the car starts right up then. This happened a few times now this week all the sudden. I can prevent this by pressing the gas pedal at the light to prevent the engine's rpms from dipping too low. The car has been idling perfect at around 800 RPM and the motor runs perfect with no problems. I did a full tune-up a few months ago too (new fuel filter, wires, distributor, plugs, etc.). The only engine problem I ever had was the infamous hiccup when boosting, and I replaced the vacuum advance and it solved the problem. Any ideas what the problem might be? Ignitor maybe? It's the original (metal) one. The motor also has the original (OEM) coil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^Yep. Do you have a blow off valve that's open to the atmosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 87redstar Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Tps/Isc reset time. Also check for vac leaks and dont forget to check the reducer fitting on the air pump hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
