I left my car for a week when I left for vacation and now the car has been idling really low. I changed my plugs and and nothing. The air filter is fine.

When I start the car up it sounds like it isn't allowing all the exhaust out... I put my hand at the exhaust and it doesn;t have much coming out.

My question is do you think this could cause a low idle?? when I am stopped at a red light it sounds like my car is going to stall but it doesn;t. On the tach it says its just above zero.

 

Maybe a rat crawled up your tailpipe,..... or a nervous gerbil?

 

Like honestly I wonder if it could cause this problem. Anyone??

 

did u try turning ur idle up a little and see what happens. or if u think something is in the pipe put it in first gear take off and red line it see if it clears it out. i never heard of this type of problem.

 

i wouldnt mess with the idle at all....if you arent getting good flow out of your exhaust pipe you have a clog somewhere..id start with the CAT and work from there

 

Did you fall for the banana in the tailpipe?

 

I checked the idle screw and it didn't really help it.

 

Check the CAT

 

I had the same problem w/ my boss's RT-10 Viper except it wouldn't start - a mouse...or mice crawled up into the exhausts and built nests (it sat in the garage for a year or two).

Fix = started it up at full throttle and it splattered guts all over both garage walls .

Alright, in more important events...is it starting up okay? If so, how is it besides the idle? Pulling okay? Is the idle just LOW or is it "hunting?"

 

ya everything is running fine other wise. I did try reving it at high rpms but nothing. I will check the cat and see if that might be it.

 

check the cat, but in the mean time
