Idle problem

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Okay, you said it is getting fuel. Have you checked if there is spark to the plugs? Follow this link to check.

If you find there is no spark, my first suspect is the crankshaft position sensor. The easiest way to check it is with a live data scanner. When cranking, you should have an RPM signal to the scanner. If you don't have a scanner, you can remove the sensor and check for resistance.

Here are a few links that discuss the sensor, symptoms of a bad one, and in general how one is replaced.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

I checked the spark plugs and they are all fouled and have either no or very weak sparks. I’m going to change them and hopefully that works. Thanks for the advice I will be back to try something new if it doesn’t and if it does I will let you know.

Welcome back:

You're welcome. Let me know if that takes care of the problem.
