low RPM at stop

when my cavi is stopped the RPM's go up and down slightly, not below .5 but not above 1 - it sounds almost as if it will stall or die out - any ideas?

Re: low RPM at stop

That is what the idling RPM should be. Or does it make odd sounds?

Re: low RPM at stop

yes sounds like a vacume hose - it is rubber hose that runs vacume pressure - in your case sounds like it could be a vacume leak - maybe a cracked hose or just fell off - just some suggestions - check the lines goin to the TB - you can pick a vacume tester pump at the parts stor for like 30 - 40 bucks - there is instructions on the package on how to use it or if its a Advanced Auto the clerk will show u how to use it in the parking lot
