when at a stop i have to hold the throttle alittle when holding the brake or it will stall. car was givin to me they said it was the o2 sensor. i dont think that is it. it sounds like the tourqe converter to me. it is an atx. anybody got any ideas?

 

it could be anything. check the idle air control motor, tps, and fuel injectors. any fault codes?

 

i just moved to mass. and its freezing with tons of snow so i didnt get to cheack all this small stuff. will do and post up.

 

Idle air control valve is the problem its stuck closed. there about 50 bucks at the parts store

 

^ ur stupid...it could be a bad o2 sensor...if it was Idle air controller then it would throw a cel

 

Your are stupid!! An o2 will not cause a car to stall. period!!!!!!! An IAC can go bad and not throw a cel.

Even still i would check the little plastic vaccum tube that runs over the intake just behind the TB. The bracket for the cables hold it down into the rubber gromet in the intake. That gromet goes bad all the time causing the problems you have.

 

Yea actually an o2 sensor can cause a car to stall. because if the car is dumping too much fuel due to a faulty o2 senor it'll kill the plugs (due to getting soaked in fuel) and shut itself down. How do I know this? Because that was an issue that I FIXED on my friends girlfriends 02 monte carlo RETARD. But it also ended up needing a new fpr because of the 255 fuel pump that they installed on it, because they thought it wouldnt run due to a bad fuel pump.
SO SHUT THE FUCK UP FATHEAD JR.

 

It soaked the plugs with fuel and stalled the engine because the fpr took a shit not because of and o2 asshole!!! An o2 cannot over power the base air/fuel map to the point where it makes a car stall period!!! Ask me how i know!?! Oh yeah, i fix cars for a living with over 15 years in the field asshole. So take your shadetree backyard wrenching and shove it up your ass!!!

 

guarantee you its not the 02 making it stall. its most likely the IAC valve , hence holding the gas a little keeps it running. try taking it off and cleaning before you buy a new one. If its all gummed up clean it with some carb cleaner. they do go bad but not that often . more times than not they just need to be cleaned

 

I don't know if the op fixed the car but the iac can only take so much cleaning untill its done for good.
