Posted by superkaioken, Jun-04-05 03:58 PM
my cars idle is screwed up i thought it was my alignment making my steering wheel shake but its not its my idle. its idle is low like this

0------1------2------3------4------5------6------7-----8
---^ it idles right there at a stop light and shakes inbetween right there just a lil like one dot and doesnt move. its not my head had it checked. im thinking its my throttle body doing it. any ideas on what wrong with it???????

check the basics man, iac, plugs/wires, dirty injectors. Pull off the TB and clean it if its got alot of build up.Just a good place to start is the iac they tend to build up and get nasty.

EGR valve is also a huge culprit for bad idle. just disconnect the battery and block it (egr valve with a coke can cut to fit) off at the head
