My car starts but does not Idle. Please help me. I changed the airflow sensor already.
I am awaiting your reply on what to do next.

Note: there is fuel coming across to the injectors.
It starts but those not hold Idle.

Many thanks.
Regards,
Ranesh

Hello,

This sounds like it will be one of two things first is you need to service the throttle body and IAC motor. Here is a guide:

Next you may have a vacuum leak here is a guide to help you find that.

Hi Ken,

Thank you very much.

Yes, it was a vacuum pipe leaking on the throttle body.

Very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
