My cousin. Said it might be the Spark Plugs but fuck man , as much money I dropped on this I could’ve been had a new car , but thanks for the video 💯 it was great advice brother 💪🏾

Check crank position sensor siring harness also

Yeah, I'd change the air filter, clean the throttle body and the mass airflow sensor and change the fuel filter. And go from there.

i'm having the exact same rough idle issue with my 2004 monte carlo, except there's no smoke at all, very confusing

Me too can’t figure it out changed the injectors idle control valve the injectors and I cleaned tps and maf and did no good problem has gotten worse

The idles bouncing cause the computer not getting the proper information from the MAF or not getting information at all. So it messes up everything causing a rough idle. Computer needs too see that air volume to determine how much fuel to inject or else it’s guessing. Plus MAF helps shift the transmission properly cause it needs proper data from the computer PCM to shift smoothly. If the computer PCM can’t see the right amount of air volume it can’t keep the engine at proper idle and the transmission can’t shift smooth with the engine.

Any ideas on a 2003 impala with a rough start when warm? It needs a little gas to start then but when cold it starts fine. Fuel pressure and pump checked out fine.

@Michael Copeland Car ran fine with maf unplugged so I replaced it, still no luck. Got the fuel pressure checked and it was fine. Its really odd. Cold starts are a little rough/weak but that could be the cold weather at this point. If I drive to the gym or somewhere where the car will be parked for an hour it really needs for me to give it gas or it just quits on me when I try to start it. If the car is only parked for a few minutes, so still hot, it starts up with no gas but still a bit weak. Actually driving is fine. Sometimes when taking off after stopped at a light it will catch a bit but that seems like a different issue. No crazy idling issues thus far. Water temp sensor you think? Thanks for reading this blog post sized comment and any advice you might have.

@TurtledC4t4 жыл бұрын
Honestly, it's a common issue with most impalas. I have had this issue with about 3 impalas so far and most have happened on the 3.8l. However if you elaborate on what exactly is going on I may be able to help you with the situation.

It’s 100% the MAF sensor it’s probably going out these sensor read the volume of air going into the intake. So you have your air box with the filter then you have the MAF sensor and then the IAT sensor that reads the temperature of the air most new cars have that built in with the MAF sensor. After that we have the throttle body with the flap and the IAC valve and after that just before the flap you have a TPS sensors all these sensors work together there jobs all too deal with the air. As we all know we need more air to fuel to have proper combustion so what is my issue well reading all your comments too me it’s definitely the MAF. Computer checks the MAF first then reads the air temp looks at the TPS too see if the driver is increasing air flow if the computer sees the TPS is zero it commands the IAC valve open to keep the engine running at idle. If the MAF is reading wrong you can see how it would mess up everything down the line the IAT sensor readings won’t match with the air volume the TPS won’t match with the air volume and at idle since the TPS and MAF are like brothers if the computer can’t read the air volume it won’t match TPS and won’t command the IAC valve to open probably why you gotta keep the gas pedal pressed down at stops. Try cleaning the MAF and why’ll your at it all the other sensors down the line and the throttle body it’s self
