many months ago my idling would be on the 500rpm mark and would dip below it for half a sec then go to 500 then go down after half a sec ect,ect. this was very obvious at night when i have the lights and ac on and on a stoplight with my foot on the brake and tranny on drive
i have cleaned everything this site has mentioned regarding the matter plus had the ac freon leak fixed. the problem would go away for two weeks then be back. sometimes all i do is remove the negative if the battery and the symptom will dissappear only to come back in two weeks.
just last week i decided to clean the TB again and found out that the plate was very so lightly open! i decided to back up on the screw that adjust the throttle body plate so that there would be a tighter seal on idling. viola!!! rpms are back to where it was when the car was new! (i was actually going to attempt to open it up a bit to hopefully bypass the prob
)
just wanted to share this and i hope this is the end of my low rpm problem. if in a week or two it comes back i will let you guys know.... or buy a toyota:lol:
