    stalling

    when its below 0 or 10-15 below, when i start the car if i dont hold the gas down a tad for the first few seconds, its stalls out, after 2-4 seconds its fine..


    is there some sort of idle air / throttle thing?

    mine does the same thing at anything below 10 degrees. I just figure it's the really cold blowby oil in the IAC not letting the plunger freely control the idle right off the bat.
    It's a really minor thing not worthy of me freezing my ass off to fix in the ungodly cold at the time.

      Ok, Assuming you have a 92-98 Crown Victoria.

      This is your IAC ( Idle Air Control valve ). This picture is EXACTLY how its gonna look when you find it behind your TB.



      Its going to be held on by 2 Phillips bolts. I suggest trying to WARM not HEAT it when you try to remove it. Its easy cheesey 1,2,3-sey.

      If you would feel better about it and I always suggest this. Remove your PCM fuse. Its in the fuse box under the hood. Its the LARGE fuse 4 th down middle row. OR count 3 relays down on the right side and thats it next to it. This will get the PCM to erase ANY KAM codes...Your car is prolly trying to " Learn to live with it ".

      Lastly from what I have read. There isnt really an effective way to clean it-Good news is there are CHEAP, And NO Junkyard finds wont have the same life span as a new one.

        mine does that too. It'll turn over then stall does it a couple of times then it starts bogs down real low then it idles normally.

            It seems to be a problem with Crown Victoria's 92-200x. ESPECIALLY in P71's. They have dam near exhausted their ability to idle by auction time.

                i got a 2001 base model HPP sorry for not specifying

                yea, holding down the accelerator just a wee bit for 2 seconds seems a much easier solution than trying to fix wo knows what

                        Maybe it has to be colder.

                          As said above, it's your IAC sticking in the cold weather.

                          There is a how-to in the BOK forum on CVN - but it's pretty straight forward. Two bolts, 1 hose, one connector. 10 minutes TOPS
