Engine Idle

just post update to let everyone engine idle has been improve after change the transmission fluid and flash, also the engine oil changed.

Nice. Good that your problem is fixed.

My idle sometimes sits at around 1100rpm after releasing teh clutch for no apparent reason, its not the fuel burn-off thing because it can sit there for like 10 seconds (fuel burn takes 1 second). I noticed that if you hold the steering wheel to one side while idling, the revs will go up a bit, but thats not it either as it happens when the steering wheel is not being held. It will finally drop down to 700RPM after a while. Im guessing its the ECU doing something

But anyways most of the time its about 700RPM so its all good

I've also noticed that pulling the steering wheel to one side will raise the revs slightly from 650rpm to 900rpm. Anyone know why this is so?

Its because the steering hydrolics is belt driven that runs off the engine. Moving the steering wheel takes engine power, so the ECU compensates and increases the revs.

Mine's about 900rpm after coming to a stop and it takes about 5-8 seconds for it to return to 700rpm. It's to ensure that the engine revs enough to burn the remaining fuel in the intake manifold after you release the throttle.

^ You're probably right, I guess the engine needs to keep the revs up for longer since the revs are so low near idle speed.

I also noticed that if I wait for the rpm to drop to 700 before shutting the engine off, I am less likely to experience the struggling startup problem.

Interesting. I bet if all the Emissions features were removed, the engine would have no hesitation to start lolz
