The dealership can't figure it out.

When I come to a stop the RPM's sometimes drop to low even at a complete stop and I get a vibration that I can mainly feel in the steering wheel.

The shop foreman thinks it could be an Air flow meter or dirty throttle body.

Has anyone ever experienced this sort of thing before? Any ideas?

clean that throttle body !! today !! use a whole can of throttle body cleaner and 2 white rags so u can see how dirty it is

I think the dealership is going to do that. I'll have to wait and see on Monday.

Any other suggestions?

Had the same problem, cleaned the MAF sensor, solved the problem. I would suggest this first, it only takes 5 minutes. Go to your local auto store and get a T20 Torz Security bit and take out the MAF sensor. Use alcohol or mineral spirits with a Q-tip and clean the element.

Throttle Body cleaner also works just fine on your MAF sensor. Just spray down the element and the dirt will run off it. Similar to the way it does when you spray the grim off the TB. It dries in 30 seconds and your good to go.

Thanks guys.

I'll let you know what happens.

DallasFan

BTW, do you have the write up handy for cleaning the MAF?

thanks

T20 (tamper-proof/security bit) is the size for the MAF screws? Good info to know.

DallasFan

Well it's not the MAF. I took it out today and had a look and it's clean as a whistle.

Maybe it's my ECU.

I had the same symptoms, it ended up being a bad coil or coils. The SES light when on though. Did your SES go on?

DallasFan

Nope. I haven't had a SES light yet.
