Turn wheel and idle fluctuates
I can sit in my parking spot, turn my steering wheel, and my idle bounces. Any ideas? It does it when I make sharp turns, also. Mods are in the sig.

It's normal for the idle to change within a 100rpm or so when turning the wheel as the powersteering pump is inducing a load on the motor.

This is more along 400-500 rpms jumps. That's what caught my attention.

Like Kris said its typical but deffinately not 400-500 rpms, if its bouncing then there might be a bad connection or loose ground somewhere. Please dont quote me on this I dont own an FD just tryin to help
