When stopped at a red light in drive, I can feel the rpm drop. It's hasn't died anytime yet. I can't tell the rpm since mine has no tach. I shift to neutral and I can feel the rpm go up.
I have cleaned the TB, IAC, MAF, changed air filter and seafoamed. I am going to change plugs tomorrow.
Any other pointers?
There was some talk about some adjustment in the throttle body, what is that?
Well the idle seems to drop pretty low and I feel greater vibrations on the steering as though the motor is stumbling.
I'll borrow an OBD2 gauge one of these days and see what the rpm drops to.
Nope just plugs I didn't change wires..., I put new NGK V-powers. (There were cheap about 7 bucks after discount at advance auto online order. Wires might be more I guessed.)
No noticeable difference.
What's that throttle body adjustment screw some folks have talked about? Just curious.
I've changed the wires at every tune up .. when the plugs change the wires get changed also. But that's just me, I've done this to every car I've owned. I guess you could say it's a personal preference. I'm a bit off like this ...
-Mine idles about 550 rpm when sitting at a stop light while in drive. If I put it in neutral, it will go up to around 700 rpm. Never had any issues with it dying or sputtering, just a smooth idle at stops. Right now I have NGK G-Power plugs in it.
