RPM drops when rolling down/up windows
Hi guys and gals,
I've been noticing that my engine's rpm drops a bit when I'm rolling up/down my windows. I guess in a way when power from battery is invoked.
Do you have the same problem (or is it a problem at all)?
If so, what can I do to fix the issue? grounding kit? new battery?
Thanks!!
Kevin

Any kind of drain on the battery will affect the RPM idle a little.
Are you on the standard battery? They are known for not lasting much more than 4 years. I bought my 04 in 08 and had to replace the battery 6 months later.
Duralasts are cheap enough, but still very decent batteries. Some people will say to get an Optima, but IMHO I can't justify the cost anymore. Their prices have raised too much.

Keep an eye on your clock. When it fails to tell time properly, it is a good indication that your battery is on its way to the grave yard. The clock will be noticeably slow, i'm not talking 1 or 2 minutes.. more like 15!
Otherwise, if you haven't replaced the battery in 3-4 years, in my opinion its cheap insurance to (as Nike used to say) just do it.

hahaha
but on the topic, this is fairly normal. If you are at idle and you draw power from an accessory youll notice the rpm drop a bit. If you are driving and you use your power windows and the lights dim or something drastic then i would go get a new battery. otherwise this isnt something i'd be concerned with

Really only 91? I've read somewhere outside of this forum that you could buy 100 octane from a Sunoco and I'm pretty sure the guy was from CA. I can't get 94 at all gas stations here but it's pretty common, the car had 87 in it when I first got it and it ran like ****... never again.
