1997 V6 - irratic idle when starting warm

Post by hooch » Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:40 pm

Hi All,

Just got hold of a 97 V6. Noticing that the idle is quite erratic when starting hot. Has anyone else experienced this?

It seems to sort itself out reasonably quickly, not sure if this is a common 'feature' or maybe a sign of an underlying issue?

It's not all the time. Only for the first 30 seconds after starting when the engine is warm from last run.
