fluctuating idle and jumpy speedometer needle
Car:
01 ITR with JDM ITR
Recently Replaced w/ New Tranny (thanks Irev1210 awesome dude
)
For some reason when I first start the car it idles normally (slightly high at cold start) and then drops normally. As soon as I give it a bit of gas or drive the car and come to a stop I begin to have a consistent idling surge ( from about 900 - 1500k). If I shut the car off and restart it, the surge is gone until I gas / drive again.
The car drives normally besides my speedometer needle randomly jumping around sometimes. It will sort of spike then drop low for a few seconds, kinda like a cracked out teenager
The odometer moves normally and RPMS are displayed correctly.
Anyone have suggestions as were to begin troubleshooting?

Re: fluctuating idle and jumpy speedometer needle
Make sure your grounds ont he motor and tranny are good everywhere. I had that happen to me on my RS and idle would jump, needle wouldn't only jump though, it hit 0 and went back up! total motor stopped at one point. So check the above stated and if all else fails, make sure your grounds are good! It'll save you some time!
