LOW IDLE/STALLS DURING DECELERATION

DESCRIPTION

• Engine stops unexpectedly at beginning of deceleration or recovery from deceleration.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Vacuum leakage
• IAC valve malfunction
• Air leakage from intake-air system
• Improper air/fuel mixture ratio control
• Evaporative emission control system malfunction
• TP sensor misadjustment
• TP sensor or related circuit malfunction
• MAF sensor or related circuit malfunction
• Brake switch or related circuit malfunction
• Neutral/clutch switch or related circuit malfunction
• Improper A/C magnetic clutch operation

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1
• Does engine idle rough?
Yes
Go to symptom troubleshooting "No.8 Engine runs rough/rolling idle".
No
Go to next step.
2
Turn off A/C switch and fan switch.
Does A/C magnetic clutch engauge?
Yes
Go to symptom troubleshooting "No.24 A/C is always on or A/C compressor runs continuously."
No
Go to next step.
3
Verify following:
• Proper routing and no damage of vacuum lines
• IAC valve is connected properly.
• No air leakage from intake-air system
Are all items okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Service as necessary.
Repeat Step 3.
4
Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
Retrieve any continuous memory, KOEO and KOER DTCs.
Are there any DTCs displayed?
Yes

DTC is displayed:

Go to appropriate DTC test.
No

No DTC is displayed:

Go to next step.
5
Does idle speed drop or stall when disconnecting IAC valve?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Inspect following:
• Circuit from IAC valve to PCM connector terminal 4G or 4J for open and short
• IAC valve for sticking
If okay, go to next step.
6
Disconnect vacuum hose between purge solenoid valve and intake manifold from purge solenoid valve side.
Plug opening end of vacuum hose.
Drive vehicle.
Does engine condition improve?
Yes
Inspect evaporative emission control system.
No
Go to next step.
7
Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
Access TP, MAF, VSS, BOO, CPP and CPP/PNP PIDs.
Monitor each PID while driving vehicle.
Are PIDs okay?
Yes
Intermittent concern exists.
No

TP PID: Inspect TP sensor.

MAF PID: Inspect MAF sensor.

VSS PID: Inspect VSS.

BOO PID: Inspect brake switch.

CPP PID: Inspect clutch switch.

CPP/PNP PID: Inspect neutral switch.

8
Verify test results.
• If okay, return to diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
• If malfunction remains, replace PCM.
