Coming off idle hesitation and stumbling idle...
Car was bought new in Oct. of 2002 - now about to reach 125K - and have a problem that do not want to spend a fortune on replacing parts that are still working properly.
At idle, only when fully warmed up, does not idle smoothly and will occasionally miss. With AC on - idles like it should. When you come off idle when missing, it will hesitate about 75% of the time and feel like it is about to fall on its face, but catches up and accelerates just fine. There is no other issues when operating at any rpm other than idle. Is not throwing any codes.
Done: plugs, both coil packs (had two go out in a 12 month period two years ago - but replace them again), new EGR valve.
My suspicion is the TPS - but it is $150 to find out if that is right or not...
Any ideas?
