Idle Stumble
#1
Ok, I've had an idleing problem for some time now that I addressed a while ago. Now I have a little more info on this phantom problem. It only does it when the motor is cold. As the idle progressively drops everything is fine and smooth until, I hit 1200 rpms. Then BAM!! Major stumbling and shaking! As soon as the rpms hit 1000 it's smooth as glass. Then when it's warm, the rpms rest at 700. It's just that when it hits 1200 it is insane how much this thing stumbles! The car definitely threatens to stall, but never has. And it's been doing this for 2 months. Also it doesn't do it all the time. I figure if it is something mechanical it would do it all the time, and in more places than just 1200? I'm thinking something with the ECU?? Again, no fluid leaks at all, oil is great, no weird noises, no performance losses whatsoever, and no weird smells. Totally confused here. Maybe this info helps at all?

well first off...... cold startups with our cars usually are always shakey,
when was the last time you replaced your plug wires? maybe its time for an upgrade, startups are usually rich, and you're shaking cuz your spark isnt good enough........ i might be wrong too

when the car is warm, try slowly reving it up to that 1200 mark. If it allways happens at 1200 it may be your TPS. it could have a "dead spot"
