alright, my idles been really weird lately
at idle, the engine speed is constantly going up and down, itll be normal, speed up for about 2 seconds, then it sounds almost like it bogging
I figured it might be a vaccum leak or something, but usually when theres a vaccum leak, doesnt the idle stay high, not pulse back and forth??
I checked for codes and I'm not getting any,
anybody got any ideas i should check out??
thanx everyone

 

I'd like to know too. I have same problem. I heard vacuum. But don't know for sure.

 

My D16Y8 was doing this... I think it may be the 02 sensor, like the sensor is giving the wrong signal to the computer and the ECU tries to compensate. My car was doing the same thing, then it threw an oxygen content code (2 days before I crashed it )

BTW, Joeyb: NO'MAAM forever!!!! Married with children ownz

if you need to check for a vaccuum leak get yourself some carburator cleaner and spray it were it could be leaking. it works beautifully. found many of my leaks when my car was doing the same thing.

 

definatly not o2 sensor. map sensor could have taken a ****, evac could have as well. or vacume leak, lines, *gaskets* etc

 

Mine does it too, it goes vroom psssttt vroom psssttt vroom pssttt.
Just a little demonstration. Sometimes it's normal, but that's rare

 

One more thing, how do you change your avatar? I can't seem to figure it out!

 

alright, thanks everyone for your help, i guess ill check around for leaks first, spray some carb cleaner on my vaccum lines and see what happens
and yes it sound a lot like "vroom...pssttt....vroom...pssst", sounds just like that

and i dont think u can change your avatar while you're a trial member, you gotta wait till you're a full member
