I forget the sequence and would really appreciate a reminder. Disconnect battery. how long? connect battery. Key on. Key off twice? then start?



help!



I also think the IAC maybe sticky


What year? & model, options - they are a little diff with diff options? Ya think?

My 94 w4L v6 4WD:

Start with cold engine- after sitting over night

diconnect batt. for a few min.

connect batt

start

let engine go thru complete warm up at idle- op temp on gauge? or 10 min.

street drive around the block- maybe jump on it a bit.

turn engine off - few min.

computer is now "reset" to factory defaults & learned your engine/ driving.
