Car won't idle

Asked by Quijote81 Nov 07, 2015 at 10:46 AM about the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car started having problems today after
working on it. I replaced my turn signal
switch and put some stop leak in the
radiator. All I did while working on it was
disconnect the battery, clean some
corrosion, replace the switch, and take off
the radiator cap. I didn't touch any of the
vacuum lines. It idled before I worked on it.
Now it won't. Any suggestions?

Update: it will idle while cold. Once it warms up, that is when it stops idling
