3.2...Idle too low - cuts out
When first starting in the morning, The car fires up but then the idle drops to the point where it stalls. I restart and the engine fires up and runs fine.
I have adjusted the idle, changed the CHT sensor, cleaned the O2 sensor, cleaned the ICV, checked all hosed and lines for vacume leaks, ran injector cleaner through a full tank of gas . In addition, I cleaned all electrical connectors to the throttle, control box, new filter. Checke the idle control switch and seems fine. The only other thing I can think of is to have the air/fuel mixture checked at my mechanics shop. Any suggestion would be appreciated. 85 carrera

Sounds like what mine was doing. I could not see anything wrong, the first time, I checked. I then did a really close check of the vac. hoses, I then found the problem, the main crossover vacuum line was leaking where the metal and rubber hose connection met the plastic fitting on the drivers side. Made the repair, worked fine since.
