On my way home today I stopped at a traffic light and noticed that my idle was fluctuating between 700 and 1000rpm, i couldnt feel/hear any change in the engine, but that is what the tach was reading. After driving a little while, the fluctuating stopped. The car was heated up already by the way, the temp gauge was already in the middle. Is this a big problem or something that can be solved quickly and easily???

i get the same thing with my 99.

right when i start her, she idles at 1K, then when warmed up a lil and the thermo at the same usual spot sh idles around 500rpms. soemtimes it will jump around a cuple 100
causes i have found is using any accesories, moving the steering wheel, turn a/c on, ect. but she still jumps around from time to time


i wouldnt worry too much about it, u have just been sittin at stop lights for too long,

Mine idles around 1000rpm when cold and then sits around 750-850 range when warm. You could check some sensors, but it doesn't sound too bad right now.

i believe that slight idle surge as it is sometimes know as is common among our cars... now if it starts jumpin around to like 2k then i would be worried, but i think its just normal for that slight fluctuation... mine does it all the time...

As does mine. Mine's getting bad tho, and i'm thinking of replacing the IAC.. It's probably seen better days ;-)

cool guys, thanks. I've got too many bad things going on right now for my car to start acting up too.
