Irregular idle...possible missing
At cruising speeds when the clutch is pushed in, and rpms are allowed to fall down to around 1000 rpms, my 8 tends to fall to about 100-200 rpms and begins to idle irregularly. Once she even died on me. :mad:
Does anyone have ideas to what may be causing this? |
No, but it's not normal. Take it to the dealer..
In my experience the idle should not fall below 800rpm (when warmed up). |
Just out of curiosity, why are you leavin the clutch in?
I know when I come to a light and I'm already slowing down I sometimes put it into neutral and coast the rest of the way, during these times my idle has never dropped below 800. Mine, for some reason stays around 1000 until I stop completely, then drops to around 800. |

Yeah, sounds potentially serious to me. I'd get that fixed before it gets worse and strands you somewhere.
Mine sounds like it misfires every 3-5 seconds at warm idle, but never enough to visibly drop the tach or kill the engine. Please let us know how this turns out. |
