we just replaced the air filters hose and cleaned the filter. Aside from that we already fixed the c02
its a mazda 323 familia at tranny.
Idle is good when in park or nuetral but as soon as you shift to drive it just suddenly go down to 0.4rpm we managed to fix it already by all of the basic tune up. Eg : changed oil and fuel filter. Cleaned the throttle body the sensors were cleaned as well changed the pipe of the filter to ensure no air leakage but after two days it just did this again, btw ill try and chekc it again. Sir anything else we need to check? THANKS! GODBLESS

Thank you so much mr. Roy

do we have to replace it or check the wiring of the iac?
Originally after tune up we had a problem with the wiring being loose causing low idling. Then we overcome it by some cleaning and tightening it. Do you think sir it's still with the wiring of the iac? Or replacement is needed? Thanks!

Which one do we need to check sir roy, I have two pictures here. Thanks for helping us sir. Were a little bit confused now :))

Paul

Or this one?

I see thanks Mr. Roy if ever wiring is good, then we have to replace the whole thing that is connected to the throttle body right?

(sorry if we cant post a lot of pics since we are currently at the office and it's just our part time fixing cars as of the moment :) )

Thanks.
