Hi, i recently bought this 2000 rodeo so i dont know to much about them other then what ive researched off this site. Every cold morning start the car will idle really high for a few min. Or start up and turn right back off...typicaly if it does that its fine when i start it right back up again... This is somthing its been doing all winter long. But just in the last few days the car decided it didnt want to idle at all... When i came to a stop or took to long to shift to the next gear it would stall out. This problem stayed consistant during my entire trip which lasted about 30 min. a couple mornings ago. I reached my destination and let the car stall out once again. (After about 20 min of the car being off) When I went to start it back up I had to hold the throttle down so it would turn over... after about 10 min. into driving home I got to my first light thinking I needed to keep it running and realised it was ideling fine now and hasnt had the problem sence then. While all this is happenig the CEL is blinking only while pushing the throttle down, once you let up the light goes away. The car also runs a little rough the entire time the light is blinking especialy while accelorating, it runs normal once the CEL light stops blinking all together which it goes off at random times during each drive and will stay off the rest of the day. (I HAVE THE 3.2L V6 5-SPEED)

I took it in for a codes reading and it passed with flying colors...

I took it upon comon knowledge to try the basics first, change the air filter out with new, clean the intake and throttle body with parts cleaner and run lucas fuel injector cleaner... I just tryed this today and i have seen an improvment thus far but the real test will be on the next cold morning start... does any one have any ideas for what to do next if the problem still occurs?
