System bogs engine down at idle


Recommended Posts

If u have whats in your sig, I don't think your system is your problem

I completely agree. maybe your alt is failing or a connection has come loose.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Yeah Could be, but even with system off the engine idles up and down pretty rapidly. I'm barely dropping below 14 volts in front.

Clean your throttle body ;)

Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

Time for some good ole car maintenance. If you are surging at idle and you are not mechanically inclined then I suggest take it to a mechanic, Alternatively be prepared to dump a bunch of money into trial and error replacing random stuff (which is what some mechanics will do anyway).

CURRENT SYSTEM:

  • Alternator:
    1. Stock alt on mids/highs
    2. Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v
  • Batteries: (2) XS D1400s
  • Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks
  • Headunit: 80-PRS
  • Sub Amp: DC 5.0k
  • Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones
  • Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.
  • Mids & Highs Amp: CT125.4
  • Active Components:
    • Mids RE XXX 6.5c
    • Highs - 3 RE XXX tweeters per side(A pillar)
  • Noise Control: Damplifier Pro all over the cab.

Battery connections get loose. So do connections at the alternator and ground points. Make sure ALL power connections are clean and tight. Then, if the problem persists, scan the PCM and see what's up with the engine.

Is the check engine light on or does it come on at all?

All connections are clean and secured. I just wanted to note that it happens only when the car is in drive.

When the car is in drive there is a load on engine from transmission being held back at lights etc. What is your rpm at idle. When you put in park is the rpm the same as drive with foot on brake. Could be a problem with you electronics system in your car (computer)not liking the voltage drop being created by your system at idle. Turn down system at red lights etc. Install separate switch to turn bass amp off at idle and listen to mids etc. You need some electrical help on power. Bigger alt with maybe 2 more d3100. Did you ground the alt to battery and new grounds to engine and frame also? Do your amps run hot?

crown vics dont have rpm gauges.

I was having some small surging issues with mine awhile back..

when I replaced the intake manifold I also replaced the plugs and lubed the tits with di-electric grease.

I also took the throttle body off and sprayed a bunch of carb cleaner in it and wiped out all the carbon from the egr with a paper towel.

then, took the maf sensor out and sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner and replaced the shitty stock air filter with a k&n.

these cars tend to idle low in gear as it is, mine never shuts off though lol.

replace the fuel filter, and blow out the evap canister sensor under the bumper as well.

alright, tune up finished. lol.

Oh i know how a 12v system works I did take 3 years of electronics in High school hands on and some in college and also worked on cars in college an always got A's to B's in each class.
