rough Idle wave


dodgethis

Recommended Posts

Hey I thought I just ask this random question. I didn't know if any of ya'll had experienced this when stopped. The car (98 Lumina) has been running fine, but i notice something weird every time when I come to compelete stop at a red light. When the car comes to a stop i then feel a very rough idle that comes in a wave from what feels from the steering wheel to the cabin of the car. I don't know if maybe the engine is readjusting from the 1 - 1.5 rpms at 45mph and coming to a complete stop.

 

Has anyone has a similar situation, and not only that, but what the hell does it mean?

 

3100, at 72,000.

does it happen when you have the defrost or a/c on?

 

No, nothing was on just radio and windows down.

 

im gonna take a wild guess and say IAC isn't reacting fast enough?

 

What happends if the IAC goes bad, i know that isn't a hard fix to replace but what could happend?
