Replying to: losmith1 (Mar 29, 2009 2:10 am) The first thing I would check is that the trans mount(s) are correct and that the trans is aligned exactly as it was prior to when you replaced it. Misalignment with the proscribed drive shaft deflection will chew up a trans pretty quickly.   But it really sounds as though you trans oil cooler and/or lines are plugged. That will definitely cause the transmission to overheat and destroy it. I would pull the lines and check them for either bring crushed or plugged and the same for the cooler and replace it with and aftermarket cooler kit if necessary.   Jimb
#9 of 9 Re: My 99 Rodeo wont idle, hunts and stalls, code P0101 [scott1742] by jimsrodeo Mar 29, 2009 (5:45 am)
Replying to: scott1742 (Jan 31, 2009 6:48 am) I finally found out what was wrong.   Faulty Idle Air Control Motor. Not only was there some carbon on the valve seat but the motor itself (it looks like a worm and sector drive that pulls the valve back and forth) needed to be lubricated with some WD-40.   I cleaned the carbon out of it first and that helped but it was still stalling, hunting and racing intermittently. I pulled it off and sprayed the WD-40 on the shaft where it enters the housing, reassembled and presto-chango! ran like a clock and has since then. The idle air control is a very precision valve so to speak and the air (and exhaust gas) has to be measured in very precise amounts or it will cause the problems that I was experiencing   The AIC costs around fifty bucks to replace but I had just dropped $165.00 on a Mass Airflow Sensor and lots of time looking for intake leaks etc.( P-0101. P-0102) and was glad to save fifty bucks by cleaning/lubricating the old one.   Jimb
