Hey everyone, my engine idles real strangely. I start the engine and everything runs fine and I can drive the car, but when I put the car into neutral or park, the engine revs up to 2k as its idle and then bounces between 2k-3k like mad. It sounds like my car is gonna tear itself to pieces!! Whats wrong? Im thinking it has to do with engine timing and if it is how can I adjust it?

When did you last take it for a service? it can be dirty injectors/fuel filter or even sparks(though i doubt it)
Try driving it hard for 10-15 minutes to clean up the fuel system. I am no expert but my Curren had similar problem with high CO2 and the inspector told me to drive it hard for a few minutes and then come back, and what you know that fixed the problem. |
