idle problem...or just normal??

95Slobra · September 26th, 2011, 09:31 PM

to start it off..my top end is bran new..5k miles. This includes the trickflow upper and lower intake with space. 75 tb with a cai. Now when i shift my rpms STAY at the rpm i shift at. For example..if i shift at 3k between gears..it stays at 3k even with clutch in til i shift gears..normal?

also...when i come to a stop..my engine will idle at 2k for about 5-6secs b4 dropping to 1k...normal?

thanks guys.

Check for vacum leak.

mass air or speed density? clean MAF and IAC, if that doesnt, get a new IAC gasket and new IAC o-ring

Check the throttle cable. Make sure it isn't binding. If it was sticking the RPM's would stay high until the clutch was engaged and the speed of the transmission would pull the rpms back down some.

95Slobra · September 27th, 2011, 01:17 PM

car drives excellant otherwise and the guy who i bought it from actually made a point to tell me it keeps the rpms when shiftin and he made it sound like an upgrade.

My revs where hanging a bit too.I cleaned the IAC and after a day or so it started revving normal again.

428CJ · September 27th, 2011, 05:43 PM

I had this problem a few weeks ago and due to a dirty TB. Clean that and your IAC.

PhillyGT · September 27th, 2011, 07:28 PM

Maybe do all of the above

95Slobra · September 28th, 2011, 03:25 PM

PhillyGT · September 28th, 2011, 05:32 PM

Clean the idle air control!!

jonrhy05 · September 30th, 2011, 09:24 AM

clean out the carbon build up inside the throttle body...a baby bottle brush does a good job with it
