As of recent my car has started idleing at a low rpm gradually getting worse and with a low idle comes a vibration obviosly. Tonight my car was idleing at 500 rpm. I know this is not normal so how do i corect this. Also recently my gas milage had been very poor, is there a posibility that the two problems could be related such as a knock sensor, or o2 sensor? Please help! Thanks in advanced.

i would suggest the knock sensor, atleast check it. If that isnt the problem, there is an idle adjustment cable, but dont mess with that unless you have to

 

Not to sound dumb but im not too familiar with the knock sensor, how do i go about checking it out? Thanks.

 

Here is the link for how to change it (which means you could easily check it with the same set of instructions)

the knock sensor is a resistor/sensor, so to check it, you use a voltage meter that shows resistance. I am not sure on the exact ammount of resistance it should register, but check out the link, and see if it is something you are up to doing. Hopefully someone can help out with that number

 

Thanks, appreciate the help! Ill be sure to check that out.

 

get back to me, and let me know how it goes. Your car looks real good, strangely like mine. Take off your pin stripe and get some clear corners

 

I actually do have clear corners, im just too lazy to get new pics... lol, also for a few weeks i had gen 2 cf altezzas and they looked nice, but one was not working and i had to send it back .

 

Altezzas.... oh well, to each his own

 

ewww...altezzas? get red clears

 

I didnt think they were bad at all, they were gen 2s so they didnt have that typical look and they were carbon fiber so they look real cool on the black car imo.

 

like mine

 

Yeah they look awsome, o well i spent the money already and i like the gen 2s.

 

lol, sig change...clears stuff up
