Okay i just put back on my valve cover after getting it powdercoated and i also re-routed my throttle cable under the strut bar. Now i started the car and it idled fine till it was fully warmed up and right after i gave it a little gas the idle was stumble as if it were choking. It wouldnt stop doing it and almost shuts off. Whats my problem?

 

maybe vacuum leak somewhere

 

could it be anything else?

 

I have this problem when I'm on a hill and give it gas and then release the gas and press down on the clutch. I have to be rolling and putting just a small load on the car like going over a speed bump. I don't put on the brakes so it's not the brake booster putting a load on the car. It will stall and almost die and if I have the A/C on, it will die. It only does this on a steep incline.

I'm suspecting it could be the MAF being inaccurate at an angle, or something fuel related.

If a vaccum leak exists, wouldn't you find it with low boost and flaky idle ALL the time?

i had the same problem when i rerouted my throttle cable.i put it back and the problem went away.

 

check all boost lines...i took mine off last nite to fix a crack and re paint it,and today i was idling high sputtering,come to find out i forgot to hook up one of the lines,it was late.just recheck everything

 

going to check mine too, i got that same problem, but geez, i'll wait for the sun to come up first

 

shazam: throttle cable put it back!

 

Flaky idle speed stepper motor?
