My car has never actually died because of the weird idle. It is mainly a nuisance.


Mine funny idles at cold start and when its hot if it turn the steering wheel to the left or right completely and keep it there. If the car stops because of lack of idle does the battery icon appear along with the check engine?


I've got the same problem, but it happens mainly when i have the lights on and it doesn't quit after 15 minutes. HELP!


When I start my car it idles fine, but when I start to drive, the engine bounces from 500 rpm to about 1000 rpm repeatedly at stops. This happens only for the first 15 minutes. I remember reading something about this earlier , but i couldn't find the post. Please Help! Thanks in advance.
