Hey Everybody -
My trusty '01 CL-S (2nd tranny ,160k) is throwing me another curveball. At startup, it is regularly settling into a very low idle and sometimes dying. More recently I've even had issues getting it to start (battery is new). These could be separate issues so here are the details on each:
Low Idle Issue: when this happens, if I quickly give it a little gas and hold the RPMs up a bit, idle returns to normal and stays normal after about 15 seconds.
Not Starting Issue: Car goes from not starting (makes startup noise but doesn't turn over) to starting as expected. This happens about once per week. Getting it to start is simply a matter of trying multiple times until it does start, and then it runs like normal.
Any insight would be appreciated!
