When my car is warm it idles at 1700 rpm or it will idle at 700-1100rpm jumping on the tach. When my car idled high I was to try the idle screw to reduce it, but now it bounces. I did not touch the idle srew and set it to low. Please help Eric

 

Start by making sure your TPS is set correctly, then set your idle according to the FSM.

 

what is a TPS, FSM?

 

TPS=Throttle Position Sensor, one of the main determinants of engine idle. Has to be adjusted to within spec before you will get a decent idle.

FSM=Factory Service Manual; in the "Fuel" section of the FSM you can read up on how to set and adjust the TPS, how to set idle speed and lots of other stuff you're gonna have to do.

FSM's can be found on line. Look in the FAQ section of this forum....

what do you mean by bounces?

 

it flutters between 1700-1000 rpms, bounces. I noticed when I was adjusting the idle screw I could olny get it to idle between 2000 rpms and this bouncing, fluttering thing. It would never idle normal no matter how adjust it. Can anyone please help.

 

yea kinda the same with my car it just goes around 800-700 when warp n drops a lil n goes back up it never stays in one spot

 

o forgot to say when its warm it does that sometimes it kinda sounds like its gonna stall.....

 

check your TPS and look for any vacuum hoses that are split or have come off.

 

will try

yeha mine does that once in a while when it warming up but i just tap the gas and thats it it's over and done with so? lol

 

i like the bounce

 

i have the same crazyness going on right now, i hate it.

 

does it cause any problems? if not i'd like to "break" mine so it will do that. (purely for show, no performance thoughts in mind)

 

what do u mean tps?

 

i mean tps where is it?
