yes another rough idle question

Post by scarecrow »

i did do a search but did not find out much...i have a 1995 AWD astro it starts and runs fine except for idle. first thing in the morning it will idle fine once it warms up it will not idle it sound like it has an awsome cam in it and the exhaust is very rich. if left alone it will stall. driving around it runs fine except for when i stop for a light or in traffic then i have to bump it into N and give it a bit of gas. no codes are being thrown. so far i have done plugs , wires , cap , rotor , pcv , removed egr and cleaned and checked for vaccume leak and found nothing. any help at this point would be great.

A rich condition is a clue. I'd be checkin' the fuel pressure regulator. \:D/
