My engine stalls and has a rough idle

Have 91 tercel. **** I bought it from fixed belt and water pump, bring it home CEL comes on and it dies almost everytime I stop at a light or sign. Waiting on OBD scan tool just bought and the book. Read somewhere that I can self test with terminals, without the book I don't know where to look to get engine code from the terminals, just don't know where terminals are at.

SOURCE: rough idle stalls at low rpm's

hello first check your idle with the car running foot on brake see were your rpm reading is if your below 500rpm check your label underhood for your curb idle setting second see if theres a adjustment screw you can increase were your gas cable lever rest against your set screw underhood if you feel confident enough remove your iac motor idle air control valve if the bore were the end of the pintle extracts out to close has varnish builup our carbon it will stick creating vacuum leak type senario causing stalling rough idle sometimes even no start conditions good luck

SOURCE: code p1507,what do i do

Hi there. Sounds like you either need to clean the throttle body.If code still comes back on you need to replace the IAC valve.It on the throttle body and controls the idle and air control to the motor.Hope this helps you.Have a great day...

SOURCE: 2002 Saturn SL1 rough, sputtering idle - cylinder #1 misfiring

spray some carb cleaner on the passeger side of the intake manifold, right behind the alternator. it is very common for those to leak there and cause those exact problems

2004 Chrysler PT LOSER Cruiser, 2.4 non turbo, automatic trans. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner and water pump, and reassembled . I started the car, it ran rough at idle but accelerated fine.

"I started the car, it ran rough at idle."................

Hate to say it but it sounds like your timing is off a notch. I would start there, it should idle smooth, rough idle indicates timing, all other things equal. I would also check to see if you haven't pinched a wire somewhere in the system, recheck spark plug wires, check for vacuum leaks, verify the PCV is working properly, and check the air intake ports for leaks.

My '91 GMC Jimmy suddenly died like it was out of gas. It restarts, but idles rough, sputters and pulses. Plenty of fuel comes out of the injectors, but it wants to stall and die.

start at the beginning fuel pump pressure at the pressure regulator then look for ignition problems , check mass air flow sensor if equiped

Car won't start

why ignore the CEL??????
you cross over the spark wires. lost firing order.
its not PVC but is due.
sure, lost spark, lost spark time, crossed wire.
if spark is good try test fuel
clean the EGR, if it sticks open car will never idle fast.
and will stall.
clean the ISC do the ECU can in fact now control idle.

you are are on track, most here are not.
you did a tune up, that is good , and is first.
bad fuel, car parked for year, dead?
now the 1 question, (after it runs)
can your happy right off save the stall
only this counts..... 1st....

check firing order now that wires are scrambled.
then check for spark on all 4 cyl spark wire ends.
then if spark is good,
and compression, good, 150 not 80psi
you do know this is and inteference engine right? and if not
fresh timing belt the engine will grenade. for sure.
dont listen to dorks telling you, mine didnt, they are idiots.
if you like Russian roulette ? and $3000 new motors are joy?
then skip the belt.

that finishes off a 60k turn up, spark , filters and da belt.
then spark timing.
then fueling.

all the fuel in the world is useless on a dead motor or dead spark'.

fueling is last.
if motor and spark are good, then yes, fueling
try test fuel (spary)
if that works for duration of spray
then check fuel pressure
that be next.
and more... ask

My sidekick will just die or barely run it died

last year, OBD1 car (dumbb ECU)
no scan tools for it
if you run on the road with that hack , and wreck
expect a nice fire. fuel fire.
if you used a voltmeter and say 12vdc there, all hotwiring stuff
need not be done. (
it stalled (misfire)
and then would not what? start but cranks ok?
4wd?
3sp ,4sp auto or 5speed stick
16v engine or 8v, both are G16s but EFI radially different.
16v is MPI with 4 injectors, 8v is 1 injector TBI
try a new
cap,.rotor spark wires and spark plugs yet?
cant burn fuel with bad spark
i guess the cam bent did not slip as it run ok later, but is 60,000 mile belt. and will slip ignored.

next time it stalls
check headlamps they work, and all electric
then see if CEL glows key on, i must or ECU lost power
it has 3 fuse that can rust, IG coil, FI, and DOME.
the CEL must glow, is first checks.

Just had the water pump timing belt and tension wheel replaced...now it stalls and dies when trying to stop or slowing down to turn...it will roughly idle in park...if it dies it starts right back

sounds like the timing is one(maybe two) teeth out of time on the timing belt. the computer is trying to advance or ****** the timing to compensate for the misaligned camshaft spockets.

91 tercel deluxe 158k idles rough like a cylinder is not functioning, computer does not show a fault code, drives fine at high rpm, gets 30gpm still. Any theories? or should I just turn the idle up and...

Pull the plugs. Sounds like you have a bad plug or a bad plug wire. Even an engine that misses will run well at high speeds but if it's missing at idle you might have a little oil on one of the plugs. I had a 91 tercel, ran great but leaked a lot of oil which would in turn foul the spark plugs. I'm sure you either have a bad wire or plug. Wouldn't mess with the idle, not sure what state you're in but it could impact emissions testing. Best of luck m'friend!
