I have a 1996 Dodge Avenger ES with the 2.0 I4 At times the car will not idle. It starts good and runs fine but when I release the clutch and let the eng.idle it just dies. It always starts right back up just wont idle. I have cleaned the conectors for the TPS, IAC motor and VSS. with little help. i even got so mad that I floored the car to red line one time and it ran and ldled great for about a day and started again.

I'd be more leaning toward IAT sensor in your intake manifold.(2 wires usually) It basically senses incoming air temperature & sends info to computer to adjust injector flow according to incoming air temperature conditions.

Sounds like your idle air control valve is bad. This valve, like it sounds, controls the idle on your vehicle and from what you make it sound like you are having idle issues. The IAC is located on your throttle body and is pretty easy to change out. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

try replacing the camshaft positioning sensor.this little sensor can cause you more headaches then an exwife but at least the sensor is easily cured,any way start there its inexpensive and a fairly easy job.Hope this helps good luck.

Is you battery going dead? How old is the battery? After 4-5 years a battery is bad and needs to be replaced.
It sounds like you didn't replace the alternator?
Do you get a click when you try to start and it wont start?
Also check the grounds on the starter they could have corroded and this would cause an non-normal starting pattern. To chech these locate them, usually close to that starter and screwed into the frame of the vehicle. Unscrew them and take a wire brush and clean them very good making sure to expose bare metal. Do the same to the frame where it is screwed into.
Make sure to unhook you battery before doing anything!
Reply with the answer to the questions and we can go from there.

if the timing is off you wouldn't have good compression
make sure you have at least 136-170 psi and the different should not be more than 14 psi.
