I have a 2006 RC with 6000 miles. About three months after I purchased my truck new, I started having problems with starting the truck for the first time of the day. It would fire right off but then the RPM would drop too low to keep the truck running.
I would have to nurse the gas for a couple of minutes and then it would start
to come out of it and idle OK.
When it first started doing this it was only occasionaly but now it is often.
Yesterday I started the truck to take to the dealer and wouldn't you know it, the truck started up and idled just like it was meant to. I left it over night and the service mgr. called me today and said he could not get it to act up.
Dealer called factory tech and they said they are not aware of this problem and I was told that since I had headers and custom exhaust that was the problem. So much for that crap.
A year ago dealer replaced the TPS which I knew was not the problem. I asked to have the IAC replacedl but they won't unless they can get the truck to act up and show a code.
Seems like every time I have this problem and I drive 60 miles to dealer it doesn't act up.
Anybody out there that can shead some light would be great.
Thanx a lot.........Mike.
