well uh i guess my first post didnt get through so ill make this one ... My car for some reason has decided to start idling low ( like 500-600 rpm) and give me little mini backfires , the vaccum at idle is like 14 lbs. now when i hit my lights the idle goes up to like 900 and the vacc jumps up a lb or 2. then if i turn my wheel back and forth, the idle jumps up to like 1200 and the vacc to like 17 or so. now i just installed a fresh ground on the UIM and all the others seem good so , i cant figure out wtf is wrong now . anyone have any thoughts on this ? btw ill be buying a PFC in a few weeks also , that might help me out.

buyin pfc sounds like a bandaid fix joe...
have you checked your battery.. alternator.. regulator.. aka charging system.. |
battery is 13.8 at idle, alt i havent checked nor regulator. what was funny is , i hit off my negative by accident and the car didnt even make one change when that happened .... hmm
|
when you turn your headlights on does your idel lower? or when you turn your turn signals on does your battery guage jump up and down ? if so it sounds like you have a bad ground or need new alternator!
|
no man i dont have a battery guage :( but the idle raises when i turn on the headlights or when i turn my wheel .. like the car runs better with the damn headlights on lol. know how i can check if my alt is dead or not before i buy a new one ??
|
oh yea i posted this before on RX-7 club and of course all the mods were saying how im stupid and i didn't get any REAL ******* answers so,, i didn't even wanna bother you guys here but im done with that ******* gay fourm.

try adjusting the screw on the throttle body.
also, you might wanna replace your plugs, you told me that your engine flooded, and maybe your plugs are fouled |
its easy just take your alternator off take it to a autozone or whatever and have them check it auto parts stores can check batteries starters, and alternators
|
well it seems it does idle at 750 but when i rev the engine, as soon as i let off .. instead of going down to the right idle or a little higher the engine goes to almost a stall, then pops back up to 750 after a few seconds, martin says its plugs probley, anyone else ?
