[QUOTE="stormhunt3r, post: 9145, member: 3538"] guys, my car is having this problem, everytime i start the car be it in the morning, noon or evening, the 1st start for the day, the car's idling would go up and down, sometimes, the engine almost cut off. I've been browsing this forum and others to find the source of the problem and found that others who had this problem relate it to the ICV or even the AFM. Therefore i planned to clean it with a carb cleaner but didn't manage to find it in the engine. Since i already got the carb cleaner, i dismantled the air filter hose and cleaned the throttle body. After cleaning it, the idling problem is solved (i think) but now, i got another problem..the rpm stays at 1100 and won't idle at 650-700 (which it does b4 the cleaning). i've tried resetting the ecu by removing the -ve terminal from the batteries but it doesn't help.Can someone point out what went wrong here? tqcheers [/QUOTE]
