Ok Im having a little bit of an idle problem. Im goin to try and explain this the best I can, 1
day my car was running perfectly fine, then I changed my oil from Mobil 1 to Royal Purple
and did my spark plugs as well. Well ever since then my idle has been all messed. Basiclly
what it does is every couple of days at randoms time, If Im sitting at a stop light the idle
will jump alittle then almost immediatly drop to about 400-500 rpms and just bogg.
Sometimes it will die sometimes it wont. If I give it a little gas it a kinda seems hesitint to
wanna go back up, the harder I try to rev it the harder it tries to die..Now..it usually only
does it when it a little bit colder outside. I have tried many things to try to fix it, and there
are as follows:
Checked and rechecked spark plug gap. (Tried .28, .29, .30)
Fiddled with BISS screw (wich by the way did the same thing wether all the way open or closed.)
Checked throttle cable bracket.
Pulled and cleaned IAC.
Tried adjusting throttle body.
Checked OHM reading on IAC, all was well.
None of these things seem to work, but here again as I stated, usually does it about 3 days out of the week and roughly 4 stops out of an all day drive.
And yes, I spaced all the lines on perpose to try to make for easier reading.
