Every time I switch into the reverse, my idle dips from .8k to .5k, back and forth, but only lasts for a few seconds. If I gas it a few times, it goes normal, or if I switch it into drive. Anyone know the cause of this? __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | |  |  | | 06-08-2010, 12:40 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Honolulu, HI Posts: 133 |

I've noticed this with my car too and it is a manual. __________________ ~Dave~

After some research, I think it might be the coolant temp. sensor. I'm gonna find out soon. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

maf, idle control valve, vacuum leak.
In no way shape or form is this a coolant temp sensor. __________________ -Jeff

Happens to me too. I would like to stress that it NEVER happens to me unless I'm in reverse. Very strange. | | | | | 06-16-2010, 02:23 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Honolulu, HI Posts: 133 |
