| Feb 1, 2013 at 22:22 | comment | added | Robbie | Just bought the car used, so I'm not sure. I'll look into getting it on a flat surface and see if it has the same issues without any load on the vacuum system. It has an aftermarket intake though. [Throttle body is stock; the airbox is gone and replaced with a cone filter bolted to the MAF.] | |

Idle will get crazy low if I put any load on the engine (brake or power steering). When it gets down to -15F, it'll even do a thing where it starts to idle after start, then just shuts off and I have to restart it every time when the engine is cold (second start it'll stay running as long as I don't touch the brake until it gets some heat in it). I've always figured it was a fact of life with '90's fuel injected engines... | |
