idling rough - 2/22/2008 5:50:25 PM    *bmxking* Posts: 76 Joined: 2/14/2006 Status: offline so my car will idle at around 800 and then it will rev up 100 rpm or so and somtime drop.  the shop i went to told me it was the aftermarket o2 sensor so i replaced it with a factory one and it still does the same thing.  i have a a/f gauge and it spikes from rich to lean when the rpm jump.  and thought anything will help  thanks _____________________________ P1SC H.O. procharger sct2 dynatech longtube headers x-pipe high flow cats flowmasters hurst short shifter Eibach pro kit cervinis hood, side scoops, & spoiler Konig beyond 255/35/20 frt 275/35/20 rear 527 hp 460lb tq Post #: 1
