could be a faulty coolant temp sensor or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

What would cause the fuel injector in a throttle body injection to open fully and flood out the engine at idle on a 1989 Chevy Cavalier 20 liter?
get a new ECU (computer). If you want to know for sure before buying one, go to a salvage yard, and talk them into letting you unplug yours and plug in theirs for a quick check that the engine now runs. That will not be simple, but is possible. i would trust a salvage computer from a wreck, but not from a 'dead' car with an intact body
How do you fix a gas pedal that sticks sometimes when it is depressed?
If you want to make it better take it to a good garage it's better clean out the throttle body with a throttle body cleaner. Use a tooth brush to clean. wd-40 the linkage where the cable goes into the line (by the accelator petal) may be rusting up there.. If your car is equipped with a throttle body, try taking some carburetor cleaner and a lint free rag and cleaning around the rim of where the butterfly valve closes. to do this you will have to remove the cover to acesss the throttle body be sure not to drop anything into the throttle body when the butterfly valve is open! This is one question I would not ask a Toyota dealer!
Why does my 2002 envoy idle up and down when you turn the heat and ac on then turns off?
you need to clean the throttle body...sounds crazy but it worked on my 04...everytime we would turn on the ac or defrost the engine would want to stall out,,,but if the floor heat was selected it would run fine....buy a can of throttle body cleaner and spay a rag with the cleaner and wipe down the butterfly on the throttle body DON"T SPRAY DIRECTLY INTO THROTTLE BODY!...MAKE IT AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE...it'll take about 10 mins start to finish and you"ll be amazed that it worked.
What do you set the timing at on a 1988 Chevrolet 4.3 V6?
just use a vaccuum gauge on the throttle body and turn the distributor until you get the reading you want.
Where is a 2 prong iat sensor on a 2001 tacoma you want to install a computer chip?
IAT=intake air temp sensor. it measures the temp of the air entering the throttle body. It is generally located on the rubber air intake hose between the air filter and throttle body. Hope this helps.
Why does your gas pedal stick then jump?
Check inside throttle body...the throttle plate could be dirty (especially around the edges). Carefully clean with a "sensor safe" throttle body cleaner. Don't let dirty fluid run down into the air passage to the IAC. (It's the small hole just before the butterfly). May want to plug that with a cloth before you start cleaning.
When the car is running in one spot what makes it stall and want to cut off?
It could be the throttle body that needs to be cleaned ( easy lookup for throttle body cleaning in google ). Or maybe car needs timing, have a look at your distributor and spark plugs / see if all cylinders have good compression as last option.
How do you stop car to stall?
I think I understand what you are saying. If your car is stalling and you want to figure out how to get that to quit, have the idle and throttle checked out. Idle might be set to high. Also, the throttle body might need to be cleaned. A great website to figure out how to do this is at www.trustmymechanic.com
When should you flood the engine?
when you want to break it
How do you remedy high idle on a 1996 Mitsubishi eclipse?
Is it a constant high idle? First place to look is the throttle wire connecting to the throttle body. It should be tight, but not pulling the throttle plates out of alignment. also might want to consider the grade of fuel you're using (sometimes a fuel system cleaner additive can help).
