I can coax it to idle...

dimanche 7 septembre 2014

It doesn't want to idle after warm-up, and would rather stall when I clutch-in or in neutral.



2004 manual, 185k mi, recent plugs and coils and wires, and seafoam, new MAF, good on oil and coolant, runs great.



Please don't flame me about this, I've been searching and reading everyone's idle/stall problems for the past two weeks. There's some great stories out there. My favorite was this guy having nearly exactly my problem, checking everything I've checked, except it turned out he reversed the gas lines into his injectors. End of story! Well, I haven't touched my injectors, ever.



Except, when I'm in my driveway, I can, somehow, seduce it into an idle.



I know it sounds crazy. But when we're at the end of our journey and ready to turn it all off, if I clear my head and pause... Rev it to 4k and hold it for a second, then let it go, it will fall and nearly stop, then usually, catch itself, roll a couple times, then up to 1.2k for a couple seconds before settling into a beautiful 810 rpm idle.



But if I tap the gas, it dies.



No codes.



If I unplug the MAF it will not idle at all. This seems to matter, but I can't remember why.



I've looked for vacuum leaks, and I don't know, but I can't find one.



I've done all the various resets. No love.



I'm really so depressed about this. If anyone has an idea, please offer it up (except everyone's favorite: low compression?).
