Stock sr20 stalling during idle
I know this happens all the time to all kinds of people, but this is part of a problem that started over a month ago that i tried to find a solution to online.
im basically gonna copy and past the post i put on s-chassis.
a few months ago i was having problems starting my car (it wasnt turning over), so i came on the forums to try to figure it out.
after some reading i figured it was my MAF having problems, so i pulled the maf off then started the car, then put the maf back on. it seemed to be the end of it.
MORNING---
before i tell what happened this morning... the past month the car has acted strangely in other ways... its running alot richer than usual (esp. with a cold engine but thats a given), its hitting 10.5 on my afr between shifts, and its not really swinging back and forth during cruise, its sitting at a low 13 and sometimes high 12. im unsure why, but anyway..
this time around, the car started fine this morning, and i went in the house and let it idle and when i got back it had stalled. so i tried to start it again and the car turns over instantly. (it smells of gas even in my car so maybe was running too rich?) but it dies right away. i tried pulling the maf off but it wont start like that either, so it seems like a deeper issue.
NIGHT----------------------------------------
ok i went out to try to cold start it tonite, and it started easily.
as soon as i was sure it would stay idling, i ran to grab an ice scraper cause it frosted tonite...
when i went, it tried to stall for like 10 seconds, but kicked itself back in.
i went to sit in the car to rev it a bit, like up to 1800 and it was running rich like usual, between 10 and 13..... then as soon as it warmed up, it started leaning out FAST, and as soon as it held a solid 15+, i turned it off right away.
so im thinking when it warms up, its leaning out and stalling.
what could be the cause of this? timing issue?
any help would be great.
