Does anyone know how to change the idle in a 03 sedan? mine is way too low and it almost shutoff today after i installed the HKS exhaust...

 

not sure if this helps but i had mine bumped up using a cipher program.

 

I think only the dealer can do that. I've heard something about someone drilling a hole in the throttle body somewhere that raised the idle Nto real sure though

 

def DONT put a hole in ur tb! and i highly doubt a dealer would mess with the idle...if anything theyll do it and tell u ur warranty is void lol

 

try resetting ur ECU first!

 

I will try that and see what happens. thanks!

 

Oh these modern cars! The last car I attempted an idle adjustment on was my new 1986 Miutsubishi Galant. I thought the idle was a little low, so I pulled out the shop manual to find the idle adjustment screws. I started reading the section on idle adjustment, thinking it would be like my other cars, outboards and lawnmowers I'd adjusted for years, etc. Step number one was "Insert your oxygen sensor into the tailpipe" and I knew I was out of luck, since no regular person had an oxygen sensor. I haven't adjusted a car idle since.

My dealer adjusted mine at the last oil change, but they have the right computers and other equipment.

 

if your idle is low, maybe you have a vacuum leakk somewhere.

 

I had the dealer up mine for me when they put in my new tranny with the UR flywheel. You need to have them do it.

 

wats wrong with having a low car idle? mines idle at 400ish, i like how it sounds like its off =)

 

I had to raise mine because it is easier to stall with a lightweight flywheel. Some also need to raise it for cams.

 

mine is way too low (100rpm) and when i rev it up and let it go it shuts off sometimes :/

 

funny, always thought mine was too high. takes nearly a year for the ****er to warm up. if i turn it on and put it into gear, it will lurch fowards. i always need to let it sit for a minute or so after startup...thats why i am scared to hand the keys to valets etc. etc...
