disengage clutch weird idle ..HELP
 

My car idles normal longs the clutch is engaged and then when i disengage it.The idle fluctuates between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 it just keeps going up and down as if im pushing in the gas and letting off. Ive been searching the forums for this problem but i just cant find it. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or not....

clutch disengaged switch is not working properly.... It's a $25 part so easy on the pocket book. Other clutch released switch is $10...even cheaper :)

or the neutral position switch on the transmission. you will get a cel for it after while..

beers :beer:

yeah hopefilly thats it.... how do i go about getting it fixed? Is it a do it yourself job? or will i have to take it to the stealership???

If you can access a scan tool it will tell you if it is the clutch switch...if it is you can buy the switches and fix it yourself......no tools required. If you don't know for sure which one it is...and can't scan the code..you might be better letting the dealer have a look at it so you don't buy a part you don't need.

If it is the neutral switch on the tranny you will need to have the car up on jackstands or a hoist to get at it...

thanks!!!! im going to go to auto parts store and have them scan it to see whats going on... This sight is alot of help, it makes me feel confident with owning an rx8 cause of all the help....:uhh:

..went to the auto parts store and they said i cant scan it because theres no codes available with no caution lights on.So should i just wait it out till a code comes up????
