having some problems with my Festy

[nutoofestiva]

Having a idle issue with my 93 l and cant seem to pinpoint the problem. Im hoping for an opinion since im daily driving this one and my lx isn't ready for the road yet.
When starting my car it will not idle or it will try to stay running at 100 rpm but dies. When I drive down the road it runs perfect until I push in the clutch where the rpms drop and the car dies. Ive read the distributers can be a problem but not sure if this is why? I checked the timing
Belt and all vacuum lines. Also took off the iac cleaned and reinstalled. Made no difference.

What's the milage and b3 right? 100 rpm turn the rims to 1000..or typo?

No the tach bounces around 100 rpm and then dies

Check the intake tube for cracks between the VAF and plastic tube.

Spray throttle body cleaner on the joints. Or clamp connecting area's and spray while car is idle if the rpms go up or change. then reconnect. Repeat. Then turns idle screw up.

Checked for leaks and found none, adjusted idle screw and still doing the same thing. I even replaced the tps and throttle body today.

Time for a compression test.

Timing belt you change and plugs wires distributor?

No reason to check or change any of those. As stated in the OP, engine runs well above idle, it just won't maintain an idle. This suggests either a fuel/air control issue like the VAF, or a dynamic compression issue.

Also please read your last post out loud and ask if it makes any grammatical sense... When diagnosing, clarity is key.

Just because you cleaned the IAC doesn't mean it is working right. I had the same problem and cleaned mine, put it back on and nothing changed. I bought a new one and it solved my problem, so don't rule out IAC just because you cleaned it.
