Normally that would be classic vapor lock. But I don't know how that could happen since fuel injection recirculates so much? I try to think of how gas tank vent valve could do this and also draw a blank. Leaving the fan. It is electric and possibly not working? It is mechanical and have a bad clutch?
The idle air control (IAC) valve assembly on a combustible engine monitors and manipulates the amount of controlled air moving around the throttle plate. The IAC valve is managed by the electronic control module (ECM) of the engine, which calculates the position of the IAC valve. Voltage pulses called counts extend and retract an internal conical-tipped shaft called a pintle inside the IAC valve. When the pintle is extended, the cone-shaped tip positions itself closer to the air inlet and restricts the amount of air allowed to pass through the throttle, building up more air around the throttle plate to increase the rpms of the engine. When the pintle is retracted, it moves away from the inlet and allows more air into the throttle away from the throttle plate, decreasing the rpms. The IAC valve operates and adjusts constantly while the engine is running to help prevent the engine from stalling or surging. This will not cause the engine to misfire!! Hopefully this helps
You have a bad "stepper motor" on your throttle...if you have more than 200,000 miles on the car be prepared to spend $200+ to fix...Sorry, just can't be done at home. :o(
I would have the car checked on the computor.Even if the engine light is off it will store the codes.When you get the codes it should point you in the right direction.I would say it's posibly the throttle position sensor.
