hyper idle
Posted: November 1st, 2002, 2:32 pm
since getting my v6 back from our vaunted emissions test... failed first one due to mice settingup maternity ward on my air filter (no kidding... threw 2 settings out of whack and cost me an extra 200 bills just for the "fix" and restest... %^&*ing ontario moneygrab is all it is...<P>anyway... since my "fix" I've experienced some weird idling... revs to 2000 ~ 2500 on its own... used to have the ultraquiet mazda idle... now it sounds and feels like I'm about to drag the guy next to me at any stop I come to... my mechanic apparently spent some time on the phone with Mazda Canada and all they could come up with is to disconnect a wire connected to the car computer to see if that works... sounds like a dumb workaround to me!<P>so here's the problem... car now idles at 1000 instead of nuts 0... when I engage the clutch it usually immediately surges to 2 ~ 2500... sometimes drops back to 1000, but generally goes up and down like a yo-yo... really embarrassing... help!
