hERE IS THE DEAL.

i was just driving my stupid mother home from work today.i was stopping for a light when all of a sudden .... the idle went crazy. it was low as all hell ( 650 to 500 rpms ) it kinda sounded like an V8 ... i wasnt going nuts driving nor have i been for awhile now ... everything looks in order .. tranny fluid.. oil looks good .. all plugs are in place .. any suggestions ?????? ( im thinking its the triming belt ) this is the first time my engine gave me any problems . so i worry .. lol

my idle rps are between 600-750

sounds like a wire problem. check resistance of the wires and let us know.

I'd start with the ignition system.. check your plugs and wires. I think DSM's have a "learning" PCM like my zx2 does.. so sometimes ya just have to let it sit and idle bad and it'll figure out what the problem is and fix it itself.

Check the wires. My wires went bad the other day and I thought my engine was really f'ed up. Luckily it was only $28 for new wires.

Sorry to hear John. Yeah well Dave you didnt tell him the whole story. See dave came to me w/ a similar report you did. i told him it was the wires, he still turned around bought an ignition coil from the dealer. found out it wasnt that, tried to return it couldnt. then replaced the wires. So it costed Dave 153$. learn from his mistakes. you can get performance wires from summit for 33-43$ or from autozone or discount for 28 if they have em. Dave i told you i aint lettin this one go...!!!! :D

YEAH YEAH YEAH, I know, I should have listened to you.

John.....If you need a new ignition coil I have a brand new one in the box. I paid $125 for it and I will sell it for $80 to you. Let me know if you need it.

ok ive check the plugs and they are all fine ... im trying a reboot of the ecu ... maybe and hopefully that will work .. either way its going in on sat.. = )
