#75702, "Electrical question"


          

When my car is at idle, if i use anything in the car, windows, wipers, etc the rpms drop to 500 and stay there until i turn them off/up. Whats the deal?

either #1 alternator/regulator are going bad,
#2 clean all battery connections
#3 clean out the throttle body/IAC motor

id start with checking all battery connections
the lower idle is what happens when there is a load on the engine, ie radio,ac,etc..

my alternator has been checked within the last month. My battery was replaced a month ago. My battery terminals are brand spanking new. And, my throttle body was just replaced with an af/x 55mm and the tps and iac were replaced as well. What else could it be?

hmmm.... a question:

does it happen ALL the time at idle? or...does it make a difference if you have been driving at high speeds for an extended period and then stop at a light (or whatever). i used to have a similar problem, but if i was on the highway and exited, came to a stop, everything was fine at idle, it was smooth. after stopiing a few times after that, the idle stumble would return. sound familiar?

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

no, its all the time. Regardless of driving fast or slow it happens. Im leaning towards ground wires being old/corroded.
