i have three issues i am hoping to resolve.

idle: when coming to a stop the car's rpm drop and it feels like it wants to stall. as well as revving to 1500+ rpms, it will want to stall.

power drain: when i use my blinker, or ac/heater, power windows, all the lights dim.

rattle: i bought the car used and the ride was smooth. after a year it seems small cracks in the road make something rattle in the dash, the doors and the back somewhere (hard to pin-point).

any ideas?

 

good thing ytou have your car in yor sig i was about to bitch about model year n ****

id say to start with gettin the suspension lubed, may help, may not but never hurts,

also since its a V6, its auto, those autos SUCK so it COULD be the tranny goin out,

and as far as the power drain, ur alternator may be the issue, not sure exactly what about it, but the guys on this forum are pretty good at that kind of stuff

i would suggest that you have the alternator checked out at a shop or something just to make sure

 

Power drain issue: Ground Wire Kit may fix this issue

Not sure about the idle or the rattle noise.

Can a standard coupe suspension wear out to the point of making the car rattle? What part of the suspension would cause this problem?

Other than cracks and bumps in the road, the car rides smooth.
