I've been reading a bunch of threads on this. I've just ordered the elk timmer for the fan. which I think is a good idea whether it solves my problem or not.
but I'm not sure if I have the notorious heat soak issue or something else.
first of all it's a 99. and it seems to be a 2000+ issue.
I have no starting issues. I have no cold running issues. I have no CEL. I've had this problem for years it hasn't gotten any worse just keeps happening. it's pretty minor so I haven't bothered to fix it. but it's getting annoying.
it happens 80% of the time on hot starts. (year round even in below freezing outside temps) I have a bad idle / no power issues. however the problem starts 1-2 mins after start up.
does the normal hot start issue happen immediately after startup ? or cause tough starting? I couldn't find any posts with actual symptoms.
so I'll start the car (after it sat hot for 15-45 mins) it'll start and run fine. I'll get 3 blocks down the street. I'll lose all power. car will barly move forward and run like garbage. if I don't give it gas it will occasionally stall out as I roll down the street. 30 secs later it's running fine.
same thing happens if I don't move. start car. idle in park for 2 mins. then idle goes to cr*p. push the gas pedal down a bit so it doesn't stall. 30-60 secs later it runs fine.
if it stalls out. no problems restarting. and runs fine after restart.
no problems running for long periods in hot weather. problem only happens on hot restarts.
