So I am having some issues...I was having a bad idle and my car would shut off when coming to a stop at a stop sign or light. So tdoay I put some injector cleaner into the car...The most expensive kind..really small bottle too... But i put the correct amount and just a little bit more to really make sure it cleans them...

Now here is the video of about 10 min after running the car a little bit with the injector cleaner in the gas tank.

N the fan part, one cmes on as the engine needs....once in a while when idle. The other one will come one as soon as you turn your AC on. Souds like a freaking lawn mower, LOL.

Do you have any mods ? I had a similar issue with my TPS replaced now don't have a hanging idle issue but then again I also replaced coolant sensor , both upstream and downstream o2 sensors , all vacuum lines with new silicone hoses , egr sensor , took the throttle body apart and cleaned the IAC from the oil blowby and carbon.

Do some simple cheap things first to try and find the issues. I would pop off the IAC and clean it until it shines pop it back in and see if you have that problem still , if so check your TPS make sure it's good.

You might have a CEL Code being thrown , is your CEL light on ?

Your fan is operating fine.

The screeching sound is most likely your belts, I didn't hear anything in the video but thats usally what it is. Try tightening them and see if it helps.


There is alot of things that can cause an idle to "hang up" Mine will do it occationally, some of this is normal when the car is not fully warmed up. If it does it all the time then you might want to check some things out.
-Look for vacuum leaks
-Check TPS and IAC sensors (both are on the throttle body)
-Change out plugs, they are cheap and will eliminate a possible problem. Also look at the plugs when you take them out to see if they are 'wet' with fuel and not sparking. Get NGK BKR6e plugs. Should be like 1.xx a piece.
-Check wires with a multimeter to make sure they are still good.


You car didn't really sound like it was skipping, it sounded really loud under the hood, might want to check for exhaust leaks. It could have just been the video though.

More than likely if you car was miss firing you would get a cel and it would be very obvious.
