Default m42 not holding idle
So the problem is I have a Idle Surge while driving and the car will not hold idle.IT will actually die. I thought it might be a dirty ICV so I cleaned it. The car ran fine for two day. And then I was driving home from work and half way home it start up all over again. Any ideas on whats going on.. Thanks for your time.

I had that surge once or twice so far.

Cracked intake boot?
Cracked hoses?

I found 3 hoses going to the fuel injectors cracked.

I check the boot. I will have to check the injectors.
