- Mon Aug 16, 2010 7:09 pm #209178 Hey, my d16z6 has always idled a little lower than I thought it would but it recently started idling at around 100 rpm or dangerously low. It never stumbles but just idles low. Does this hurt the engine? Is there something I can do to fix it?

- Thu Aug 19, 2010 9:43 am #209588 I'm with the other guys suggestion, IACV needs to be cleaned, if possible also the TB

however, there are a lot of factors needed also to consider.. is it when your aircondition running when you experienced low idling? etc?...

- Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:14 pm #209629 the A/C makes it sputter and almost die if it's at idle, so I don't use my A/C. windows down FTW

- Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:53 pm #209636 FITV could be the culprit as well, although that usually causes a bouncy idle. Pull it off and tighten it anyway just to make sure.

Straight lines are for sissies.
