shak541 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 hey guys.. im also jumping onto this.. my vehicle does this too.. but i have a weak coil somewhere as even without a system i have issues! having my system running full tilt at idle for a bit can mess up the idle. I have a stock alt and 2004 intrepid SE with the 2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunkjuice1 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 My car is distributorless ignition so I'm thinking the coil pack is old or an O2 sensor is bad. Stuff like this kinda sucks but doesn't hurt taking the car to autozone and have them do a check engine light test and see if they get any codes regardless if engine light is on or not. We will just end up throwing money at it trying to guess whats wrong. In another thread I was told it could be a vacuum leak like a old cracked hose somewhere along intake.

rickyfromthe407 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've got a 95 Civic EX. This happen to me a while back. If you have exhausted all routes, I would check into your IACV and your FITV these both control your IDLE. 99% of the time they get dirty, you pop off two bolts, spray some (engine cleaner) i used brake fluid, pop bolts back on and start it up. This is VERY common in older civic. Its worth a go, doesn't take but 5$ and 20 minutes. Free if you already have brake fluid! Let me know. Hope I could be of assistance.

B Slaps Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Did you charge battery before installing alternator? I saw a video a ways back where the battery was drained a bit and the car did that while alternator was trying to charge it. this is how you burn out your voltage regulator I Rock 4 Doors 4 More Whores!

illiniboy17 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 my car does this too (95 T-bird), only if im in gear though. Like if im at a red light too long system turned up or not my rpms drop way low and it acts like it wants to die and sometimes it does, im pretty sure i have a bad egr valve though but would that cause a problem like this? not trying o thread jack either Car: 1995 Thunderbird System: Pioneer deh5100ub HU Pioneer/Lightning Audio 5x7's 1 Hifonics 1610D amp 2 Obsidian Audio 12's 4cu.ft. box tuned to 30hz 8 farad Boss Audio cap 4 gauge power/ground wire Youtube Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
