so it could be any one of those things u mention ?
Do you hav a check engine light? Could be check and test
no check engine light it just jumps from 600 rpm to 500 back up to 600 while im at a stop light and sometimes it chugg's when im driving but its just weird how the lights dim or surge with the idle
Clean the idle air control valve, EGR/PCV valves and clean the MAF sensor with an electronic cleaner CRC
oh ok i recently bought a new iac valve and didnt notice anything different, how do i clean egr valve and maf sensor ?
Carb cleaner on the EGR valve/port and for the MAF sensor use an electronic cleaner CRC-check Radio Shack or Electronic shops
so if there is something wrong with one of those parts would that cause lights and all that fun stuff to dim in and out with idle or would that prob be battery cause i put in new alternator in sept but i did notice i think battery not right size cause that clamp which holds battery in place is on where its supposed to be but i can lift battery right out of there ?
