Guys,
The last few mornings I have started my car and it turns over fine, but when it fires up it barely fires at all. Twice it is stalled, and I recrank and hit the gas just a bit as it fires. Any idea on this. I ran a system check and it came back error free. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Had something similar happen to me..it was the idle control valve

 

Was that something you fiexed yourself, or took into the shop? How would you do it yourself?

 

The dealer did it. But according to the gurus over at Renntech it's a 15 minute job. You might want to do a search there.

 

What year is your car. Only the 99 C2 had an idle control valve. May be nothing more than a bad tank of gas.

 

It is a 2004 C2. 4k miles- daily driver bought new Dec 2005.

Having had both a '64 Galaxy 500 and a '76 Peugeot 504 that did the same thing because of a bad tank of gas, that was my first thought.

 

Shoudl I maybe run some of the Chevron TEchron fuel additive through it as a possible cure?

 

Won't hurt.
