Question Engine Idling
Can anyone tell me what might cause my engine to idle up and then idle down? It doesn't do it all the time. It will idle up passed 2 .5 in rpm's, and it will also idle down where it almost dies, and some times it does die. Also when it idles down and dies it ususlly starts back up but the is hard to turn as though it isn't running.

Search on IACV. Follow the instructions to clean it and things should stabilize.
