91 Plymouth Laser RS, engine starts fine, car runs great until after about ten miles/ten minutes idle is bad/low check engine light comes on. If accelerating its fine, if the you come to a stop it idels bad, you press the gas pedel rpms come up and it turns off the light. Runs great as long as you are accelerating but once you get up to speed (even on highway) and take foot of the gas pedal, check engine light comes back on and it starts cutting out/rough. Timing checked, replaced manifold o2 sensor....same problem
Just trowing some suggestions out there, but, I would check the idle air control valve (solenoid) or the throttle position sensor. If they check out then my last guess would be the map sensor or the vaccuum to the map sensor. Hope I was able to help. Best wishes.
