rpm suddenly droped down, problem?

**badtodd** · 26-12-2005 02:40 AM

recently, my engine is running extremely low when stopped, about 200 rpm. Anyone knows what's wrong with it?

um on my ek1 myn only drops down to 100rpm wen aiir con is on and ive stopped n giv it a lil rev.

but normall 1000rpm
that sounds weird to idle at 200rpm

probably your idle control valve. theres plenty of posts about it. give it a clean and see how you go. have a search and see what you can find.

possible leak in a vac hose

Bad Spark Plugs could be the cause. Or possibly a distributor problem.

Try shorting the ECU plug and look up the error code(s) if any.

if its a sudden drop in revs....IMO search either electrical or vaccuum connection is loose. Look aroudn your engine bay for any loose groundings ( off block , gearbox , thermostat , battery etc) or check all pipes around the inlet manifold are secure.
Good luck!

EDIT also try my ECU check for codes...
