How low is your idle

wow....took awhile to....decipher this post..and find the problem...dont underestimate the rs? dont underestimate the power of the period (in your case), lol im just kidding with you. So as I understand it, your idle sits at 500 rpm's at a stop?

Oops missed the 500.

CEL?

replace the plugs with [ashah plug in the correct part # please] BPR5ES [?] and be sure they are gaped to the correct specs [again ashah ;)].

make sure your wires are good and pluged in and there is no excess FOD in the plug wells ;)

sorry about that .. but ur right - - -ashah000 i am idling at 500 at a stop light. brought a new ngk plugs... the new ones i just put in, when i discover there was fuel on one of the old ones.... i am still driving my car with this low idle.

BoostedSpyder: what is excess FOD?????

hmm, just making sure i get this right, but the spark plug is wet with fuel when u take it out?
just dont how that is possible, since the temp in the combustion chamber will dry it up.

so your spark plug was bad and didn't ignite the fuel (that made the plug wet) what's the problem here?

Oops I missed this... :uhoh:

Yep BPR5ES or BPR6ES, I would go with the 5.
Gap them to .045 to .050

Ok then did the new plugs help at all?
Are you sure it is fuel :)

So there is no check engine light?

FOD = Foreign Object Debris

like crap down in the wells. the electricity will follow the least amount of resistance and it may be leaving your plug wire and going thru a tiny hole it has burned thru it by where the wire taps the plug, arcing to some conductive water or something. there is a page by magnacore all about it [ya, so what if i'm lazy!].

no. the check engine light did not come on... i going to check the plugs today.. to check the status if it's still happening. NGK plugs com gap specific for the car right. so why am i running low rpm at stop and go traffic... around 500 rpm. i can't stand that :-( i luv my car......... can any help with the low rpm.......

how u just turn the idle up

Turning the idle up sounds like an easy anwser

Check the TPS

hey guys thanks for the help... i check the plugs yesterday and none of them had few on it, i guest that one of the plugs was bad.. so then why am i idling low around 500 rpm at stop and go traffic.. this shit sux............help please.

my idling screw do not have a place to turn it... it's not phillip's head or flat head... it's look shave off.... so how can i turn it....

how do i test the TPS and where is it located.....
