Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Firebird / February 2006Idle problems....
What exactly controls an engine idle? My Camaro used to idle around 750ish rpms.. now its just above 500 with it dipping below 500 every once in a while... and sometimes causeing stalling... once coming out of my driveway.. once rolling up to a stop sign.. etc. What all of a sudden happened and how do I fix it? Thanks. Best regards, brandee.coenen@bankarea.com webmaster@bankarea.com http://www.bankarea.com > What exactly controls an engine idle?

Asking another silly question. >Charles After someone pointed this out to me I checked a few more groups that I subscribe to and there are similar posts on all of them. Some different handles but always the same scenario. Using an e-mail addy as the name and the spam in the sig line from the same base address. I didn't check the headers though. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert I noticed as well. Seems to be a program that makes the post look on topic. I think it copies an old post, and uses it as a new one, so that it seems to be on topic. Spamming pricks. Same headers as well. >> I noticed another post on the AA4Chevy-Trucks group with the same >>webmaster address in the sig line. Asking another silly question. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > 88' Firebird Formula > 00' Mustang GT Vert Well about the stupid question thing.... for whatever reason, I believe this is one my of exact posts from a while back... when my car had exhaust work done and the idle was all f.cked up... only to find out that when they installed the exhaust, they melted/fried several wires on the firewall causing the problem.. but why my post got quoted, I don't know. -Geno 1985 Blue Camaro 2.8L auto w/T-tops (aka "Transmaro") 1988 Blue Firebird Formula 5.0L auto w/T-tops 1985 Brown Firebird 5.7L (360) 5-speed NO T-tops >> I noticed another post on the AA4Chevy-Trucks group with the same >>webmaster address in the sig line.

Would anybody buy anything from someone that can't spell a simple three letter word like "our"??? Now THIS is funny! if your car is f.inj. try speeding. My v6 shows the same symptoms when I drive it in town for some weeks. Then it wants to be blow through. After 10 min with avg 100mph at the hwy these probs are gone. Idle is then at 600. If 100 mph is not possible for you or not allowed try driving in a lower gear. But remember GMs warning concerning driving in 2nd gear for longer. We in Europe have stock transmission coolers, so my dealer says this is only valid for those who have none. Hope this could help you a little. > What exactly controls an engine idle?

I had a problem with my 5.0 L TPI 87 Formula where it would stall as I pushed in the clutch and rolled to a stop. I tried many of the different things, but what turned out to fix it was a very liberal application of Gumout or some other spray degreaser (while the engine was off). I took the hose off that connects the air cleaner and the air intake right before the butterfly valves. The problem was that over time the valves had become coated with a "gummy" coating and were sticking just enough to stall at low RPM's. It's a cheap easy thing to try so I hope it helps.
