My 1994 samurai idles really high when I first crank it, but later slow down. is there anyting I can do to ?

From a cold start my sami idles really fast, but as I drive it and the engine warms up it will idle correctly. Is there a way to make it idle slower from a cold start?

SOURCE: 1987 suzuki samurai Distributor problems

First, kick his ***. 2nd,, kick your **** for allowing him to mess with your car.. LOL 3rd, Grab a drink for both of you and tackle this together. Remove the spark plug on cylinder #1. Rotate the engine till you get it coming up on the compression stroke. You can hold your finger over this to do it. (Don't be using the starter) Pull the distributor cap and mark on the distributor itself where the #1 wire should be. Now. Put something like a straw into the spark plug hole and continue rotating the engine until it reaches the top. Now look at the distributor and see where the rotor is pointing.. Your BUDDY, should know what to do next. The reason it is currently running is because the timing is too late. Whenever disassembling anything on an engine, notes should always be taken.

SOURCE: I have a 1987 Susuki Samurai, 1.3 engine. Cold

Yeah it sounds kinda high. There is no adj except for the idle screw on the throttle, the computer does the rest, if it has one. If not, then you can adjust it some how. If carbureted, check for 2 little screws in the front, and check the choke, If throttle body, then just the idle screw, the idle should be around 1000. Hope this helps.

1996 Jeep cold start heater location

It likely has EFI (electronic fuel injection) and an idle air control valve that regulate idle speed. They can get gummed and fail to have a fast idle when cold, or get stuck the other way, and have a too fast idle all the or regularly take its time slowing down after you take your foot off the gas. An engine temp sensor can also cause a lingering high idle if it reports the engine as still being cold after warm up.

Engine hesitates under 2000rpm in 1st and 2nd

It may be your map or maf sensor the connection to it to the manifold could be defective, have you noticed poor fuel mileage? if so then check it, also does it idle rought on start up or does it rev high when first started up? If it does you need to chek for vachum leak you can use a can of carburater cleaner to spray around hoses and see if it smooths out if it does at the area you spray it on that is your problem.

94 Lincoln TC engine stalls when slowing/stopping

Most common cause of stalling for Lincolns in that era is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). It regulates fuel mixture, idle speed etc. A bad TPS will usually act up in one of two ways:
  1. When cold, car continually stalls
  2. When warm, car stalls when slowing down (especially if AC is on)
As far as valve cover oil leak, it's a problem that should be addressed to keep oil from fouling your spark plugs but highly unlikely to be the cause of your stalling problem. Hope this answers your question. All the best.
