I own a 2002 Chev Cavalier and when it is in park it idling fluctuates/revs
bwtween 800rpm to 2000rpm (not all the time but often). I brought it in to
the dealership and they could not find anything wrong with it. They only
did a diagnostic check and said thats all they could do. Has anyone else
experienced this problem or may have a idea as to what is wrong...thanks

Same question - almost...

Hi guys.. I have this problem with my Sunfire 2.2L

When I start my car, the idle sits at approx. 2000 rpm for about 2 minutes
before lessening.

Usually idle rpm is just under 1000. Also, after driving, when I come to a
stop, the idle will start "pulsing" between 1000 - 2000 rpm rather than
remain at a constant idle. Not experiencing any loss of power or high
emissions, but transmission seems to "clunk" when changing gears (manual
transmission).

Any idea what it can be? I'm thinking idle regulator ?

Regards,
Allan
