help with my idle
Hello everyone, ok so here is the problem. When I’m driving everything seems to be ok but if I let go the gas pedal and put it in neutral the rpms drop to about 400 rpms and it acts like it wants to turn off and it will stay like that for about 10 seconds when I turn on my a/c it does the same thing. I then noticed that as I’m accelerating it kind of feels like it doesn't have power or its getting stuck and then power comes back and then it just feels ok, kind of weird to explain. When I got home I popped my hood and checked if one of my spark plug wires were loose but everything looks ok, and also my exhaust smells like fuel. The weird thing is I took off for lunch and everything was fine, after work I took off home and that’s when it started. Does anyone know what it could be. BTW its a 03 Z06 with halltech intake,tune,x-pipe, b&b bullets, and tr6 plugs and msd wires.

Bump
Sounds like the same problem im having. When i turn on the A/C the RPMS drop very low. If i dont give the car a little gas sometimes the engine dies. Is there a way to set the idle a little higher?
