Alain Sounds liek a small vacume leak, or perhaps the oxegen sensor is bad . Check the milage since the ox sensor was changed If it's over 60k miles thats agood bet .This is known as a "hunting idle". As for the possible vacume leak remove the rubber "s" shaped tube that connects the air box to the throttle body .They tend to crack . Also look at the small braded rubber vacume hoses (about 5or 6 mm in diameter) that run all over the engine compartment. These are only some possibilitys mike 85westy 213k |
