#91295, "Rough idle"


          

This happened after the car sat for about 2 months without being started up...at all. Anyway, the car runs perfect, but whenever I sit at idle it likes to dip down to 800 or sometimes 700 then come back up to 900-950 (what it normally sits at). I've changed the plugs and wires, tried some injector cleaner, and am changing the oil tomorrow. What else could be causing this?

The car is stock other than the cat-back exhaust and intake, but it was idling rough before either were installed.

Your throttle body or idle motor may have carbon build up, just take off the throttle body and check it out. If its really black, clean it off with some carb cleaner and a rag, and do the same to the idle motor.
