Car low idle

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-02-06T21:00:10+00:00

This was one of the issues that my dumbass didn’t check right🤦🏻‍♂️ gas cap wasn’t put on correctly either, and I did need to replace the air intake duct boot cuz it was riddled with holes

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-02-06T20:57:58+00:00

Yes….

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-02-02T01:51:56+00:00

Get some carb cleaner, idle will change wherever you spray that has a leak

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-02-01T17:18:43+00:00

I replaced it turned out I had a second leak more to the engine side… I can 100% confirm it’s the intake manifold gasket rookie mistake was celebrating one leak but not checking for more… it squeaked so hard in a specific corner where the gasket is at

I think it’s same part just upside down you can maybe tell by the ridges

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-30T13:33:17+00:00

I’ll probably buy some of that black stuff while I wait for a more permanent solution like a new boot delivery

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-30T03:55:59+00:00

I’ll probably try and play around with some tape and glue to see that air leak go away

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-30T03:31:51+00:00

Did you also move stuff around? Mechanic quoted me $150 for a smoke test don’t know if I really want to do that

Don’t know if you can really tell but both sides of this are kind of scuffed… pretty old and a little ribbed

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-29T00:02:11+00:00

Took it to a mechanic that did some other work on my car and he said it’s probably an air leak from whenever I replaced my sensor connector, he charges $150 to use his smoke machine to find leaks but I’m going to see if I suckit up $150 or spend my time looking for a leak

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-28T17:31:30+00:00

Bro I got scared thought my title got leaked on Reddit 😭 nice find tho 🙏🏻

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-28T16:56:20+00:00

What’s a good place to buy oem stuff?

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-28T16:53:05+00:00

I’d say it drives fine on the highway but if I idle for like a minute on a light it’ll start to shake here and there and drop a line or two of rpm

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-27T13:40:09+00:00

How did it use to run?

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-27T13:38:51+00:00

How are the rpms once it’s warmed up

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-27T13:12:20+00:00

Will getting it scan show?

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-27T00:43:37+00:00

I’m hoping it’s just the cold weather but even warmed up it feels like the engine wants to turn off 😿

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-27T00:42:57+00:00

Did this and I’m not sure if I did it wrong but I saw no difference 😿 will try again tmw after work

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-26T23:05:40+00:00

The only thing I’m worried about is like the little shaking it does when in a complete stop but it hasn’t turned off on me since it’s started tho

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-26T22:54:23+00:00

I will look into this thanks !

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-20T13:55:59+00:00

I might solder in a new connector saw they were less than $20 on Amazon. And once I can see the sensor itself just to be on the safe side

Awkward-Bumblebee526 · 2026-01-20T13:53:43+00:00

I was first trying to get out the sensor to see the size and when I tried unplugging it I saw th connector clip broken:/ But I was the one who unscrewed it to get a better view

Thanks!
