    Car will not idle at all.

    Greetings.
    2001 Galant V6 3.0
    Car will not idle at all. I have:
    1. Removed and clean throttle body and intake manifold
    2. replaced spark plugs
    3. replaced all my egr and vacumm lines
    4. replaced my battery


    Car starts fine, but then dies without pedal play.
    Car has 200k miles, and was bought used.
    I did both a compression check and a cylinder leak test and it passed.
    170psi on each cylinder.

    What am I overlooking?

    Check your intake manifold for a crack. Happened to me twice a while back.

    And if that's the case, I can sell you one if it's the upper, hopefully that's not the case, check to see if your MAF is unplugged
    Just because something is old, doesn't mean you throw it away

    MAF is plugged. As for the intake mani, I didn't see a crack. Definately looked for fowl play

    You know, I unplugged the IAC and no change. At least on my evo, if you unplug the Iac, it idles high (around 1.5-2), but no change whatsoever.
