the thing is that it only does this on idle. on acceleration it runs fine unless it stalls and is hard to start and the cyclinders get flooded and from that point once it gets started it misses and splatters but clears out

i agree. iv never pulled a bad o2 sensor or temp sensor code but have known of temps going without a code. any1 no how to test temp sensors? if i unplug it will it run to how the ecu thinks it should be?

thanks will try that asap

i also thort that wud give a code? did ur 90gt run rich only on idle because of it?? how to test?

i did have a problem with my old bov which was opening so i changed it and the new one doesnt open on idle. any way of testing o2 and wouldnt it give a cel code??

hey guys. i have a rs ra 1991 legacy and the thing does not want to idle. what happens is i starts it up in the morning or whenever its cold. idles good for about 5 min of driven and then once warmed up, if i come to a stop or put the clutch in at any time it drops to 500 or 700 and sometimes fluctuates. sometimes it stops and idles at normal 1.2 as if the iacv catches it but not very often. while its doing this idling c$@p i can see black smoke puffing out of the exhaust and some times stalls. i believe the stalling is from way to much petrol being pushed into the cyclinders because when i try to start it up, sometimes its very hard to start as if its flooded and sometimes it easy. cel codes i have gotten is icv, tps and airflow meter. i got a new afm and since reset the codes and all has gone away except icv. so i replaced it with another 1 and even cleaned it but still no change at all. any ideas? thanks in advance
