Small idle issue
Well, to be quick about it. My idle is normally set to 900 rpm or so. Now, out of the blue, my idle will drop to like 6 or 7 hundred then go back to 900. This happens like once every few seconds and only at idle. No power loss or anything once I get moving. Although I have put on new exhaust and a tune, this was happening for like a week before I changed anything.
My coworker says that it is probably a vacuum hose and he said it would be a cheap fix. My check engine light is not on. Thank you for any helpful replies. |
My car also does this, especially once I pull it in the garage at night after I've been driving it. Haven't really inquired in to it though...

Has your car been tuned to idle at 900? I believe stock, mustangs idle at around 650.
|
Switch - Yeah that's standard or around that area, for me too.
I had idle problems for awhile and also would try to kill the car when idling. I don't know what fixed my problem, but here is a few ideas. Clean the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) Clean your Air Filter (not really nessary, but it's nice) Clean the IAC (Idle Air Control) |
Well, it still moves around no matter what its set to idle at. It happens whether or not I have been driving the car.
My air filter is clean, I would probably need to check those other two options though. thanks. EDIT: Hah I feel like a moron, my CAI's filer was halfway off. put it into place and tightened and its all good. |

How does one actually clean the MAC/IAC? Yes, this is probably a n00b question, but to be honest I've never done this before and it's something I would like to do in the near future.

For the MAF you take it out and spray it down with "MAF cleaner" yes they sell a product called that. Or they sell electrical component cleaner. For the IAC or EGR I always use Carb cleaner or Throttle body cleaner and spray the shit out of it a few times.

Thanks Dustin. If I ever find something that you don't know I'm sending you ten dollars.

I used the MAF Cleaner on the IAC. I hope that's not bad, my car is fine, besides that I just blew my clutch. FML
