Since temp got down below fifty, complaining that car doesnt start and run properly when parked in lot at her work, it's on a slight incline but not much. And exposed to wind. Makes no diff which direction she parks car.
- but starting it in morning in driveway, has no problems. unquote
Well, the problem started manifesting yesterday in the driveway, as well. First time I had seen it.
When it happened again this AM, temp 20F, I had a bright idea.. after I got the engine to where it would run on is own, I got a piece of scrap same weight as a tack hammer and rapped the ISC valve.
Sure enough.. it must have had some gunk in the full retract/closed position, because the engine idle speed promptly picked up.
Now I know! And so do you ... I just LOVE rap and tap troubleshooting!
