i have an issue!

Post by Raivis »

ok this has been happening for a while now but it seems to be getting more frequent. my idle is usually all over the place, and lately when i go to stop at a light when i hit the clutch the idle will drop and not catch and it will cut off.can't reproduce on demand. hope i can figure something out instead of taking to dealer (still have about 3000mi on warranty

It could be a dirty IAC valve or dirty MAF sensor.http://matrixowners.com/?showtopic=65513

That's just CRAZY talk... Let them pay for it, before YOU HAVE TO... Take it in once a week till it's fixed if you have to, to... you payed for the warr... USE IT... You got other things to worry about mang... I would say IAC as well... I mean it DOES control the idle...

have the old airbox around?go back to stock before you take it in. then there should be no worries about warranty.
