Since I bought my car-4year ago- never wormed up in the cold morning without stalling out. The first cold morning day after I bought it, I started it and went back home to finish my morning coffee. Ten minutes later I went to my car thinking that its worm and ready to drive. I found it stalled out and it was just I left it “COLD”.
a year later I took it to the dealer and as usual they suggested that the ICV to be replaced ($450). The next morning after they replaced the ICV the car stalled out. Went back and forth to the dealer and you know the story, $450 flew up in the air.
Now 3 years later I saw Rajaie’s conclusion and products and I decided to give it a shot.
Yesterday 2/28/08 I got the seals from Mr. Rajaie and got them installed.

To make the story short, after 8hrs the Car started without any dropping in the RPM, It didn’t stall out. This morning at 32F the car idled solid without any hiccups until it wormed up completly.
I also noticed a significant improvement in the power and torque.
Thanks to Rajaie and all of you who gave a feedback after replacing your seals which encouraged me to go a head and do it.
So far I drove 100 city miles after I replaced my seals.
I will update you after 500miles.
