Hi, just recently my 5sfe has started to idle weird. Sometimes it idles at 600-700rpms, then suddenly dips to below 500 rpms and then my car shakes as though im about to stall.
i changed spark plugs not long ago. Does anybody know what else i should check for? |

i had the same idle problem and after i cleaned my IAC or idle air control valve the problem went away. beside it could be just the hot weather , i heard that older engine start to idle weirdly in hotter weather. but clean your IAC anyways , its easy and its only going to cost you a can of Carb cleaner
