Car drives fine for the most part but I have to heel-toe to stop because it starts to choke out when in neutral. I tried playing with the Throttle screw but wasnt doing anything. I've been reading stuff about the TPS but idk. Car just came back from the shop with a new clutch and it didnt have this problem before then.

Sounds like a good reason to start doing your own repairs, eh?

Throttle adjustment did nothing?... Which throttle screw did you mess with??

Watch your voltmeter, mine dips and starts to have problems just like yours but, it's not at every stop. I'm thinking my alt is about to give up the ghost, but I'm getting into upgrade time and am thinking about a LeSabre or Taurus alt. I can post back and see if it helps.

its an S4 NA vert and my voltmeter is fine. was thinking my injection system was gross because when it does stay on it bounces. Also the screw I messed with is the top one with the black cap on it.

Totally would do my own repairs except it is forbidden in my apartment community to work on your car in the parking lot.

I had to chop the exhaust because I had a clogged cat and in turn had to cut off the EGR pipe would this change anything?



I cut off this cat entirely and had to cut the smaller pipe as well...

Annoying the crap out of me. I have to heel-toe to keep the throttle up to keep it from stalling.

Make sure all of your vaccum lines were properly reconnected. Could be a leak.

Mouse2k4

Idles fine in cold start still have to check for vacuum leaks been too cold to sit outside for more then 5 minutes

FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!

was just a disconnected tube. I guess when the assheads at pepboys put it back together they popped it out. Or they did it on purpose to get more money out of me. idk. Luckily I was stubborn enough to not bring it back to them and fix it myself.

This isnt my car or engine but in attempt to help others with a similar problem the red arrow in this pictures is where it was disconnected

Too easy to miss one of those connections. Glad you found it yourself.

Mouse2k4

yeah I know right part of me feels like pep boys left it off on purpose to get more money from me. or they just suck at life either way they are the bad guys.

It sucks that you're not able to work on your car in the parking lot of your apartment community. I'm glad to hear that you figured it out... It seems like some automotive shops hire some shady people.

I find that the corporate repair shops are really shady. I used to go to Strauss and when i went to pick up my car I saw some of the employees running someones jag across speedbumps at high speeds around the building.
