Poor Idle when cold
My car idles really low maybe at around 500 rpm when cold and as it warms up it comes to a normal 900-1000 what could be happening?
It also has a lot of gas smell when starting I have a freshly rebuilt stock WUR |
Two thoughts.
You really need to verify your cold pressure. This requires specific gauges /fittings. Also you need to check your auxiliary air valve is working - ie is opening when the vehicle is cold. This lest the extra air in your engine may be looking for. Alan |
Like Alan said: AAV valve...
|
what year is your car and Is your car stock and does it have any of the smog stuff on it , and do you have a dual vacuum distributor, I had the same problem as did J930 here on pelican and I was able to help him out on this subject, Your WUR and AAV may fine, Let me what we are working with first an if you have a pic of your engine bay would help,

Jose, before replacing parts you should verify function.
- Verify the voltage getting to both WUR and AAR. - Remove the AAR, note % open, place in refrigerator and again note % open. - Put gages on CIS and verify cold pressure and system pressure are in spec. - Verify no vacuum leaks. - Verify the cold start injector is not leaking. I assume it is hot where you are. If the cold pressure is a touch low or the CSI is leaking you will have these symptoms. AAR malfunction will reduce idle but not cause rich smell. |
