Guys,
I have a very annoying problem with the idle on my XR6. Sometimes it will idle as smooth as silk where other times it seems to rev up and die down. I have changed plugs & leads ,cleaned the injectors,changed the air filter,cleaned the throttle body and IAC. Had a look at the fuel filter but it looks new. After reading private9 post about oxygen sensors I will probably change that too but I dont think that will help my idle problems. Ideas ??????? Scott |

looking at the car from the front, it sits on the side i guess of the throttle body, about 90 degrees around from the ISC valve, looking from the front, it's on the front i guess you could say...it's a black unit with a wire hanging out of it...no idea on price tho, sorry

could check for air leaks...inlet manifold gasket, etc. use some aerosol (carby cleaner is good) and spray around the gasket and see if this alters the idle
