Idle Fluctuation?
Hi all, My engine does not have a consistent and steady idle. It slightly fluctuates up and down while sitting at idle. Anybody know what causes this ? Thanks

I'm guessing it's the throttle position sensor. For a quick fix you could take out the screw a bit, but that won't really fix any actual problem that there is with it, it will only make it so that you can live with the car. I would suggest getting a new throttle position sensor. Also, I hear that leaky vaccum lines can cause funny idle.

my car does the same thing no and then. i just had the TPS re-adjusted and it still does it. plus my "check engine" light came on today... does it mean that i need to replace the TPS entirely?
