I have a 93 h23 auto lude. My coolant is leaking, somewhere from the bottom. It drips from the passenger side of the engine, cant really see where the leak is coming from. I am also having idling issues. I am getting a bouncy idle, and the lude sometimes stalls randomly. Sometimes its hard to start. I have replaced the FITV and cleaned the IACV. My question is, are these 2 problems linked? Is my idle and the stalling caused by the leak in the coolant system?

you might have a radiator leak or a hose leak. You need to take the car to alift and look underneath.

Yes the cooling system can cause a bouncy idle. You might have air trapped inside the cooling system. When this happens cleaning your IACV will not help anything.

First thing u need to do is to go see if you have a radiator leak.
