Werid idle need help
Ok about a week ago my car at idle sometimes gets really rough and now i notice when im driving betweed 1000RPM-2000RPM that when its at the same RPM for a min or so it will slighty rev u p and pull then stoppulling and pull again and stop pulling. I did a full tune up plugs cap rotor fuelfilter fuelinjector cleaner and its still doin it i thoght vacume leak but since there are only 3 vacumehoses that i know of they all look in good shape anyideas its really annoying the hell out of me and i want it to stop doin that i did advance my timeing to 12degrees but after i did that no problems but could it be the timeing or what could it be

Hey Graeme, if yer car has a MAF, check to see if it's been gutted.. my idle went completely to hell a few days after I took the screen outta mine.

same thing happened to me a few months back except it would die after idleing all wierd like for awhile. I took it to the shop and the only thing the guys could find wrong with it was a bad O2 sensor, a really dirty intake manifold(which is what they said the problem was), and a busted tranny mount(resulting from to much racing). If you got the extra money just take it to a shop and have them check it for ya.
