Car overheats and Air blows hot at idle? http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/11/car-overheats-and-air-blows-hot-at-idle.html

-----------------

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

This is a common issue on this car. You definitely have a faulty IAC (idle air control) valve. If the IAC is faulty the car is hard to start, may experience an erratic idle or just stalls when depressing the brakes. The IAC is located on the throttle body so you will need to have it replaced to resolve the issue.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

idle control valve check this and clean it, its on the air intake, valve opens and close when engine needs more air when it sticks it dont get the right air fuel mix. and stalls engine.

Bad idle air control valve. Most likely needs to be replaced. I'm guessing you have around 125K miles on your Galant, right? See other posts for solution.

check the idle air control valve near the trottol body it cause the engine to stop when you let go of the gas pedal. It is idle air control valves job to keep the engine runnig when the driver is making a complete stop or the car is in park hope this info helps

idle control valve. bad plug wires and bad plugs will all cause that as well as a air leak in the vacumn hose on galant

Sounds like an issue with the idle air control motor.

The idle air control motor keeps the vehicle running when you are not pushing on the gas pedal.

You need to replace the idle air control motor.

You should have your TPS and EGR looked at as those cause rough idles...Other causes are bad idle air control valve, bad plugs, bad distributor cap & rotor, a bad wire, bad O2 sensor, etc...

all the sudden the check engine light came on and it started to idle funny and dying at stops. I had a diagnostic done on it and changed out the idle air control valve but it doent seem any different. and the check engine light is still throwing the same code. we adjusted the idle up so i could drive it with out it dying but it is still acting funny.
