Guess my problem, see if your right
Ok, accidnetly reset the ecu and lost the cel. Gotta wait for it to come back now. Lets see who can guess the problem before the ecu tells me.
Clues:
Idle seems to be low, especially when in gears (auto)
Problem started the day of the blizzard
Idle is low when my heat is on
95 se w/ 70k
Its pretty cold out
Lets see who wins, even though i dont have anything to offer, well maybe a set of orange bumper lights if you pay shipping, or hyper white/blue fog bulbs if you pay shipping

climb under your car, follow the flux capacitor to your muffler bearing, give it a good shake, sometimes the darn spitzer valve in there goes bad and it will reverse the flow of your exhaust thus thrusting air back through the bearing.
simple solution:
Chewbaka Theory.......

HAHAHAHA yea my buddys ranger pick up had that same problem...... but seriously, you should be able to just turn the screw like you normally would to check codes, and it will still blink them out to you if there is a problem.

yup yup, got the codes... unfortunatly no one was right no no freebies lol,
and the answer is : Rear Heated O2 sensor
looks liek the thick snow i went over once or twice focked my sensor up, maybe its jsut loose or something, but i bet its fried form all the water getting in it or being knocked around too much

i have cleaned the throttl body before so i cant see that being the problem, wouldnt a problem like that slowly come,i mean one day i would start it up when it was cold and it would idle at a normal 1300 until it warmed up, now it was just idling at 400 - 500 rpms within a day, i doubt it can be a cleaning but i may be wrong, anyone got a write up on how to clean the iacv?
