I'm going to dive into this issue over the weekend but wanted some of your guys thoughts.
This might be a dumb question since this is my first standard transmission, but I SHOULD be able to idle in 1st and 2nd gear, correct? The problem I'm having is that while going around a turn slowly (2nd gear) or slowing down for a stop sign (1st) the truck will occasionally just die.
No jerking, weird engine noises or anything. It just quietly dies. I can drive the truck just fine, no fuel delivery issues as far as I can tell, and the truck will idle in place just fine.
When I unplug the IAC it dies, so I'm thinking the TPS voltage is too low?
Both the IAC and TPS are new, so should be functioning correctly but I will check
