any info? Idle is down all the time, at all speeds, but particularly noticable when hot at idle. started happening about the same time i put an oil filter relocation kit in. Coincidence? Not missing or stalling, but noticably lower. MPG sigificantly higher....When very hot, like sitting in traffic hot, idle comes back up. I aint complaining about the MPG, but if some sensor is starting to die, I dont want to to get stranded.
 






clean your IAC and see if that helps. Also clean the MAF
 






re

yeah something is not right. i will check those out. HAS to be a coincidence.

also, i will have the pics of the relo kit in tomorrow. next project is a homemade skid plate. the vulnerablity of the oil lines and oil press. sender is bothering me. so that'll be a cool project. saw some diamond plate in home depot; gonna make one.. :us:
