I have a problem with my car stalling when not shifting fast enough. The other day i replaced my battery and when i did and started it back up i noticed my RPM's were like 200-300 lower then before i changed the battery , it now sits at 800 maybe 700 rpm and before it was atleast at 1110-1200 rpm. Would anybody know what could be causing this? :headshake

is your car turbo????????
if it is...check your bov dump tube hose..if it is loose/hanging off..your idle will drop

Well for one, your idle SHOULD be 700-800, not 1100-1200. Also, are you recirculating your BOV? You should be (assuming you're on the stock mas setup).

yea its recirculating and i have a 96 gsx manual trans, is the dumptubpe the tube from my bov to intake cause i took it off the other day to check my turbo and i couldnt quite get it back on as far as it was , it seems like its on there tight. Oh and a big thing i forgot im having white smoke come out the tail when im idle and whe i shift

1st off all...eliminate one possibility and get the bov hose on tight..it is the hose from your bov to intake...that can cause idle to drop...and white smoke could be a few things...anyone with some knowledge feel free to correct me if im wrong....
---bad head gasket
---bad turbo(b/c mine was cracked and I had some smoke from my exhaust and then i replaced it and the smoke problem went away)
---could be lack of coolant
im not 100% sure about them and i believe there are more possibilities
time to go check a 90 gsx out with roack2k2(mike)
-good luck man

can i get a new bov dump tube at autozone? cause the one i have is ripped on the end , and besides that i can get it to go more then a half of an inch on the tube on my intake, would some lubricant help?

Lubricant will help...dont over do it
make sure you clamp it down if you can,..should have a stock clamp with it i believe(1st gens do i know)
i bought new coolant hoses at auto zone..im sure they have something to match your bov hose...bring in your hose when you go in

while were on the subject of idle, every now and then my car shakes a little bit. the rpms are fine, but ill be sitting at a stoplight or something and it will shake a bit like a big ass gust of wind when by. What could cause that and stuff
