Idle problem for 3 month. Car dies when started but get to normal after running for about 10 seconds. Dealer checkup suggests a bad idle motor and replacement for $500. If this does not work, replace the computer for $1200. I took off the idle motor and cleaned it up with carburator cleaner and put back on. The idle problem is gone and everything is normal.
So far no major problems except tire, oil, and fuel filter changes.
Dependable car with comfort.
How did you remove the idle motor, I think I have the same problem?
I have a 1992 Diamante and it has an idling problem. It is my first car and it is alright, but I would sell it in a New York minute.
How do you remove the idle motor? I am having some problems with my idle.
How did you remove Idle motor? I have the same problem myself - took it to Firestone, did Computer Engine analysis - but in vain.
