My car has 17,000 miles on it now. A couple months after I got in the accident, at about 10,000 miles, my car started to have a really lumpy idle. As RPMs come down the tach settles at about 700. After a second or two, it starts to dance. It pops up 300 rpms, falls just under 700, and continues on like this until it settles at about 400 rpm. Just as you think it's done it starts back up again. This all happens randomly. The only predictable aspect of it, is that it will definitely happen at some point during idle. DEFINITELY.
Because I have an intake and exhaust, this lumpy idle is extremely noticable. (my intake pops, my exhaust revs, and my sanity wears thin) What could be the problem?
I have already taken it to two dealerships and they assure me that nothing is wrong. They hooked up their computers and said that nothing was wrong. After I bought a new MAS.....assholes.
The head technitian told me it was the O2 sensors constantly changing the air/fuel ratio. bulls***! The car was bone stock when this started to happen and it didn't do it before. No other MP3 has done this. (To my knowledge) He came up with a bunch of other excuses but they were easily proved wrong.
The car preforms great when driving so I just let it go. I'm really stumped guys.
Could this be my fuel injectors? (I use 94 octane)
Maybe my spark plugs?
My O2 sensors?
A kink in one of my ECU wires?
ANY info or suggestions you could offer would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Jon.
