ok, so my car has a roughish idle to begin with, but when im at a stoplight or something and its just idling if i turn teh steering wheel the idle drops to like 350 rpms, then slowly climbs back to like 700. what could cause this?

 

timing... weathers been funny check the distibutor cap and rotor...

could be a fuel problem (clogged filter)

or your maf may be dirty...

so heres what ya want to do...

check and clean your maf, check the cap and rotor they may need to be replaced... and check the plugs...

come back and lemme know how that goes

 

thanks for your advice. ive alread cleaned the maf, throttle body, and intake mainfold. plugs are fine, and i advanced the timing to 14 degrees on friday. still no difference. i havent yet checked the distributor, how do i go about doing that?
