Do I have the ECU, low idle problem?
OK so I've been in denial with myself that I have an ECU issue with low idle/ rough idle etc. so I'll describe the following issues and maybe you guys can help me determine whether I should take it to the dealership:
-Car starts fine with good exhaust note -After 30 seconds to 1 min. the rpm's drop to 550-600 rpm's seen in this photo (link), engine noise changes tone to a quiet, bubbly sound. -With the idle this low, it can be very easy to stall the car and too hard to get a quick, smooth start. The change in feel when the idle drops I feel like the car is going to stall and I lose confidence when I feel the engine lose power. I sometimes blip the throttle to 1k rpm to make sure I don't have a bad start. Is this the same low idle issue that other people have reported? |
There is an idle dip issue where the engine would idle at 600 RPM but once in a while it drops to 500 RPM and jumps up to 800 RPM.
I've never heard on low idle issue. What you described is a normal operation. When the engine is started cold, it idles at higher than 1000 RPM. The idling RPM would slowly go down to 600 RPM as the engine warms up. |
Alright thanks. I've fixed my low idle issue, just rev the shit out of the engine at stoplights and make people balk and laugh.
