sudden idle drop..

Postby Okibi » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:08 pm

Nooooo ... VERY VERY VERY sceptical about and of those "carbon" removal things, the Mrs got dupped into it once and it didn't make a difference.

Look on miata.net about some of the fixes.

One of two of them I could do in the driveway and it would take less than 30mins.

I'd rather give you a hand fixing them than have you piss money away.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Mine does this as well, very rarely though and mainly when it gets stupidly hot. My car overheats in summer on trackdays and when the gauge gets up there the idle will drop. Fixes itself when the car cools down again.

They screwed something up and you trust them with your car?

Might be better to try the cheap and easy Miata.net fixes first, see if that helps, if not then consider another solution.
