  • Is there something wrong with my car?

    Sometimes when I start up my car the RPM's start rising and falling between about 1200 and 800 over and over without me doing anything. It goes away after the car has warmed up for a couple minutes. I was wondering if there may be something wrong with my car or maybe it's just weird.

    Someone can probably help you but I am almost positive this has been discussed before so you might find it if you try searching. Maybe search for surge or rpm.

      nothing wrong with your car at all..

      Just the computer trying to adjust the air/fuel ratio.

      Do you have a after market air intake system or did you remove the maf screen?

      If so the idle surge is due to one of the above.
      Nothing to worry about..

        My car is basically stock with a K&N air filter. I haven't put in an intake yet and I don't know if the maf screen has been removed. I'm not really good with cars so I don't even know where the maf screen would be. My car is a '97

          possible fuel injector problem. i had the exact same problem with my first car but I got rid of it before fixing anything. Everything pointed towards the fuel injection system. But since I never did anything about it, don't take my word for it~ just passing on what I know [img]smile.gif[/img]
