random idle?
Monday, November 13, 2006 3:15 PM
Alright so ever since I got my engine swap (05 Ecotec), I've been experiencing idle problems. Everytime I start up my car, it'll either idle at 600 or at 900. No change in anything else, just one idles differently from the other. And it's totally random, sometimes it'll idle for 900 a few times, sometimes switch back and forth, sometimes it'll idle at 600. But everytime I turn on my car, the idle will be either 600 or 900 and will stay that way until I turn off my car. So what do I do now to fix it?

No the thing is, it either idles at 900 or 600. There is no factor playing to why it idles the way it does, it just either idels at 900 or at 600. I driven for 30 minutes straight lots of times and if it starts idling at 900, it'll stay that way. If it starts idling at 600, it'll stay that way. I understand if you thought I meant about when I turn my car on and the idle is high, but that happens everyday regardless. I'm just talking about after it warms up it'll either be on idle or the other.

My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
