    sc 400 stalls at start

    I cleaned the idle cotrol valve, I did it exactly as desribed per a link I was sent via this sight. It's got to be something else. My best guess at this point is that it is the fuel ecu, has anyone had a similar problem due to a bad fuel ecu, or does the fuel ecu control start up?

    sc 400 stalls at start

    My 92 sc400 stalls at start up unless I have the air conditioning on. Once the car is running I turn the ac off and all is well, car drives perfect, never wants to stall with ac off at stoplights. Only when I first start the car, if I have the ac off the car at start up will start perfectly and...

    cleaning idle control valve?

    It stalls when hot. I have found that when I have the AC on at start up that the car will start evry time.

    cleaning idle control valve?

    Thanks for your reply. In regards to the vacum leak, I would bet that what it is. You see the car sat for 6 months and a rat decided to make the engine compartment his home, there's probably a chewed up tasty vacum hose somewhere. Are the any schematics available anyone knows of for the vacum...

    cleaning idle control valve?

    Man, everything was looking up. I took the IAC apart, it was actuall cleaner than I thought it would be, bearings were fine, cleaned the sensor, put it back together, car started perfect first couple times, celebrated. Then I drove the car awhile and it is stalling when I start it again???? I...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    I was told that the fuel ecu was directly behind the drivers seat in the back seat area right under the window, this was the electrical box I swapped. And no I don't know what dtc's are? Thanks for your reply.

    cleaning idle control valve?

    I took off the idle control valve on my 92 sc400 and noticed that it had some black powder like stuff stuck to a sensor looking deal, looked like a small probe/bullet. I have been having problems starting/idle with my car, and I was wondering if cleaning the sensor looking deal will help?:bad:

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    People are telling me it's most likely the idle motor. I don't know, this has so much sensor electrical bullshit atatched to it. I swapped the mafs , I also swapped the fuel ecu , I'm totally frusterated. I have to take it to the dealer.

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Hi I am in need of some serious help. I just bought a sc400 1992 and just had my first problem, my second is I don't have the money to pay the dealer so I'm hoping I can get a quick fix here and head to the salvage yard. My car is stalling when I start it. Engine cranks up and then stalls within...

    starts and then stalls, when going runs perfect

    I am having some trouble it's got to be a simple fix. I have a 92 sc 400 and when I start it, the car starts and then within seconds drops below idle running rough and dies completely?? The odd thing is that when I get the car to start I have to start it and before idle can drop I have to...
