01 max stalling out on startup?? help
HI, my 01 max SE (manual tranny) with 25,000 miles on it has been giving me
problems at startup. sometimes when I start it it will feel like it's gonna
stall, unless I push the gas, then I can save it sometimes. othertimes I"ll
start it the engine will start and then just stall out. then sometimes it
starts just fine. (I'd say about 50% of the time it starts no problem) also the
other day when I started it (wasn't any colder out than usualy stil like 75
degrees out) it started and the car was kind of shaking, and it was idling
really high (around 1500 RPM's). this was when I had the clutch completly
pushed to the floor. this is the onyl real problem I've had with the car, but
it seems ot be getting consistantly worse and teh high RPM idle is a new thing
(it hasn't done it since, just that once) I change my oil every 3,000 miles
(give or take a few hundred or so). any idea what else it could be? I wouldn't
think spark plugs or wires at this stage. any ideas of what it coudl be? anyone
have this problem before? thanks a lot!

Same issue here with my '98. I notice it more often now. Particulary
when I start in the morning and it is really cold. (Usually it is
around 60 outside, and I don't garage the car right now.)
It will start, then the RPM's will drop to below 1000 and eventually
kick back up.
This morning it even stalled.
Ideas?

Oh, and a new fuel filter won't hurt. My idle would dip low sometimes
and changing FFs helped a lot.

David Geesaman scratched out in the sand
I thought of that too, except - in my instance - I had the FF changed in
June.
Other ideas? Could it be a bad unit?
