So ive made a few threads on what my RS is doing and i thought it was a vacuum leak, but it doesnt seem so as i have checked and cant find any disconnected hoses or anything.
My car will start, but as soon as the RPMS drop to idle it stalls out. I can hold the throttle down and it will run as long as my foot is on the gas.
I tried to drive it like this, but as soon as it goes under load it kills the engine. I have to keep the RPMs above 3000 to be able to let the clutch out. And then it starts bucking if I try to drive.
Last night i was checking the car for vacuum leaks and i was starting it to see if there was any changes with what i was trying.
Nothing i did kept the car running.
One thing i noticed was that my IAC valve (i think) was getting really hot, but when i put my hand on the head it was cold...
I took the valve off and pushed the little plunger in, and when i started my car the engine reved itself up to about 4000rpms and then would fall back down and then stall out..
Un plugged the IAC and it ran worse, but symptoms were the same.
Then i took out the IAC completely and the car would barley run when started and ran really rough...
All this time IAC is too hot to touch, but engine is still cold or warm.
Plugged the IAC back in and re installed it, and i un plugged the battery and put in the other ECU i have.
Re started it and It ran better, but CEL came on almost instantly and then it stalled out as usual.
Plugged the check mode connectors in a got a flashing CEL, tried to start it once, but didnt want to mess with it after that.
This is the valve im talking about
