This is a very true statement.

Chris's car idles bout the same as mine. Within a hundred.

Interesting. I just started it and let it run for a bit.

Cold idle for a few minutes it idles at 700 RPM, even after closed loop accurs. After a few minutes it goes down to 500 rpm idle.

Now at 700 for the first few minutes, the rpms will dro when I put it in a gear. I get that. Every auto trany I've ever owned has done it. But once the car idles down to warm idle of 500, it doesn't drop when putting it in gear. It stays at 500. Surges still but the surging never goes away unless I'm driving it or reving it. Then I wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

Hell ya. I'll just pull in the parking lot, set it back to stock, and tell them it's still the way I had it when I picked it up.

Nevermind the big cast iron thing on top on the engine. lmao

Oh, and it may kick and buck, but I got ..... uh...... water, .. Ya... water in my gas tank.

'And I had to rerout the hoses to make the engine cover fit. LMAO

No NO NO, Tell them what happened is Bonnie washed it when the car was hot and it just started acting funny.

Washing the car shouldn't void the warranty, LMAO

Or I could go in there and be like, WTF.....

I brought my car here last time and it hasn't run the same since. Did you guys add something?

wkdivr · 01-31-2011, 04:40 PM

I doubt wether the dealer will do anything to the engine, now that it's been modded. Plus.....turning the idle up would only be a band-aid. You need to get the tune finished. It should idle fine once you get all that set
