Default Rpms drop too low when letting go of the gas

When driving normally, nothing is different. When I come to a stop and let go of the gas, the rpms drop lower than they should then slowly come back up to 700 or so.

Feels like its gonna bog but it comes back up. Everything else is normal.


Any suggestions?

That's the thing. It doesn't idle too low. It drops too low then comes back up to normal.

If it was a constant low idle it would be different.

thermostat's probably going, that's not uncommon, but doesn't sound like it's your bogging problem either.

Make sure your idle screw is set to spec with the IACV unplugged, and while your at it clean the IACV.

You might have bad gas or water in your gas. Have you disconnected the battery for an extended period of time? If so it may have reset the computer, just drive it and it will go away if that is the case. If it's water in your tank or bad gas try a bottle of HEET.
