1 Answers
The reasons for unstable idle speed when starting the engine are: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup; 2. Dirty throttle body or carbon deposits on the fuel injectors; 3. Faulty spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils leading to poor ignition system performance; 4. Unstable fuel pressure, insufficient fuel pump supply pressure, or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor; 5. Clogged fuel lines causing insufficient fuel supply; 6. Aging engine components. The solutions for unstable idle speed when starting the engine are: 1. Clean the engine and idle speed motor carbon deposits; 2. Clean the fuel system; 3. Replace spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils; 4. Clean the air filter and throttle body; 5. Replace aging engine components.
