I'd check the stepper motor.. I've had the same problem, but I just took out the piece and cleaned it, and she runs fine now. The T-hoses could also be cracked, take a look at them. | ||

I had the exact same problem with my ‘95 last month. Remove the intake plenum and look inside your intake. You’ll see the butterfly valve and my guess is that you’ll have carbon build-up throughout your intake, including behind the valve where you can’t see. Buy a can of BG44K Intake Cleaner from a dealer and spray the intake including behind the butterfly valve (pull the throttle linkage back to open the valve). You might want to put a rag beneath the intake opening to catch the runoff of the cleaner. Use about a quarter of the can or continue spraying until the run-off goes from black to light brown. Let the engine sit for ten minutes before starting. You might have to crank it a few minutes because the engine will be effectively flooded from the cleaner. When you do get it to start, give it heavy throttle and you’ll see a black cloud blow out the exhaust. This is more of the carbon that is causing your problem. Don’t worry if you get a rough running engine the first few minutes. It will smooth out and the problem should go away. Good luck. | ||

wouldn't an oil change be a good idea after this kind of cleaning? | ||

I don’t see why but I guess it couldn’t hurt. I believe the majority of the carbon is blown out the exhaust at start-up. In addition, the BG44K intake cleaner is very strong stuff and evaporates fairly quickly. I’m not sure how much carbon would make it into the oil but if it did it seems like the oil filter would take care of it. Of course I’m never against oil changes. | ||

i bought a can of the BG44K intake cleaner but it cam packaged with the fuel additive and one other can i cant remember what it was for. But it was packaged for shops in pop top type cans and requires speclai spray tools which i dont have. is there any way i can utilize this product without having the BG tools? | ||

Yes, mine came the same way. One can is the fuel additive (just add to fuel tank at next fill up) and the other is injector cleaner. Most of us don't have the injector cleaning tools in our garage; however, it can also be added to the fuel tank and works the same as the fuel system cleaner. I've done it twice and my '95 runs like a champ. | ||

Check your Stepper Motor, screw it out and clean it with Carb Cleaner. Also you can use Carburator Cleaner for the butterfly Brett is talking about. Just use a soaked rag and cleaned the area around the butterfly. On the Stepper Motor you can screw that off with a large spanner, I though mine would be in there really tight but it only took a little bit of force to take it out, when I cleaned it a bunch of gunk came out. After cleaning it up my idle came back to a normal low but really steady!!! |
