my car went from idling from 800rpms to 500rpms. it all happened when i degreased my engine. i might have tripped something to make this happen. i thought that the car would go back into sync but i didnt. i shakes a bit when im at a stop. it was worse but then i put some sea foam into the engine to help clean it too. it still idles at 500rpms but a little less shake. it a little smoother now. just need to know what i did and how to fix it.
i had this problem before with a mazda...turns out there was a small leak between the head gasket in two cyclinders
man, its 1pm here lol got an hour break before my next class and i have no time to go back home to do all this stuff
ya... it can actually be a number of things..check your intake hose for leaks and see is it bypassing the airflow
checked everything that i could. at least what i knew i could touch and be ok. so, i disconnected cap and rotor and cleaned all of that. took out my spark plugs and cleaned them too. looked into the intake pipe and cleaned that. so, for now i just adjusted the throttle body until my rpms went back up to 800.
so is it running any better??? it might sound weird but i think theres a switch on mine near the water temp gauge that controls the rpm... check that if you have one...better ask mafix bout that thou!
different cars guys. on the FE motor...i would think you've developed a vacuum leak. since you've looked on the top of the motor and found nothing, check on the power steering pump. there are 2 vacuum lines that go to it.
