RPM's dropping below "normal" at idle
So, when I'm sitting at a red light, my car will make an engine "clunking" sound, just once or twice every 60seconds, where the RPM's drop quickly, then come back to normal (around 6-700). Spark plugs?
Thanks in advance for the input. |
what other variations affect the symptom? temp? patterns of when it occur the most? i don't think spark plugs would affect it in the pattern you have described
|
Could be a plug, or a coil, or a few other things.
CEL on? I see you're a '99...still on original coils? There's your problem. |
I had a similar problem without the clunk on my 96. The plugs (Autolites)
looked in good shape, but I replaced them with NGKs, and that fixed it. |
