The tour is having a problem. (Thought I fixed them all)
The car is not idling. Starts fine and runs fine, but the idle won't catch till sometimes 15-20 minutes later. One time I drove about an hour before it caught.
Any ideas? It's going in the shop Friday. I just changed the plugs, but this problem was happening before. Heel and toe ain't working, so it's a [censored] trying to keep this thing running in traffic.
Preciate it.

Try cleaning it first. Pull it off and spray it out with B12 cleaner. I did this to mine, which was having slight idle and moosing problems (no stalling), and so far the cleaning has made an improvement.

I had the exact problem on a GM and its cause was the TPS (throttle position sensor)
Just some food for thought

"Did you get the memo about this?"
"We are now putting cover sheets on all our TPS reports."
"If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that would be greeeat."
