So I have been having a strange idle issue for the last month. The symptom's are hit or miss and come and go on a whim.
On start up it will either idle high (1000-1200 rpm) or will idle low (300-400 rpm) and will slowly after a min of so come up to the normal range ( 700 rpm ) Unless of course it decides to idle properly from the start.
After it settles at normal idle and with it still in park if you tap the gas and bring the rpm's up the idle issue will return and after about 20 seconds will slowly return to normal rpm.
While driving and the truck preforms flawlessly, until you come to a stop and then it will repeat the idle issue similar to when you tap the gas in park.
The truck has 160,000 miles and just had a tune up (plugs, wires, oil) I has new O2 sensors. The MAF has been swapped to check if it made a difference ( it didn't) The Idle air controller has been swapped (didn't help either) The TPS is working properly based on the reading from the scanner.
I just replaced the injectors with the Volvo upgraded ones (The truck ran seamlessly for a few days after this, and now the problem is back. but as I said it comes and goes as it wishes)
The fuel pump was replaced about 4 years ago, But when I swapped the injectors and bled the fuel rail there wasn't much pressure. I am beginning to believe that the fuel pressure regulator is going bad. I haven't put a pressure gauge on it yet, probably will this evening and will report what I find.
I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I am interested in any feed back to make sure I am addressing anything that could be the problem.
