fastbird232 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 When I start my car, it's got idle issues. It'll surge for a while in park, and sometimes when I'm coasting down the road, it'll surge again while in gear, going from 800 rpm to 1800. What's up with that? Also, when I'm backing out of a parking spot and go into drive to pull away, rpms drop way down (and has even stalled a few times), like 500 or so. I dunno what's up with this engine. I've cleaned the IAC and MAF. Haven't had the opportunity to do much else while it's been cold out, but does anyone know what the problem could be? Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 I'd start off by checkin' the fuel filter ... also, how long ago did you fill up? you may have gotten a crappy tank of gas too. --Dave. Quote
GP1138 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Plugs/wires? Fuel filter? Bad gas? Have you checked by changing to a different IAC? Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Does it get better after getting warm? If so it's intake gaskets. Quote
fastbird232 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 Fuel filter replaced in July, plugs and wires changed in November, IAC cleaned in January. I might be the gaskets. But the revving in drive happens when warm. And this has been going on for months, using gas from half a dozen different stations. I guess I could try another IAC, depending on how pricey they are.

soya_sauce Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 check the vacuum line going to the MAP sensor for leaks, just a thought Quote
