Rough Idle On 2000 C5 Auto
Hi Everyone,,
As Of Today, I Am Experiencing A Rough Idle When I Am Fully Stopped. When I Take Off The Car Hesitates Til It Gets To About 10 Mph And Then Runs Perfectly Fine, Once Again The Same Thing When I Come To A Complete Stop. Fuel Consumption Does Not Change, Car Doesnt Stall, Starts Perfectly Fine. I Am Just Wondering Step By Step What To Look At Before Taking An Appointment At The Dealer.
I Am Sure This Has Been Covered In The Past But I Am Looking Through Some Previous Posts And None Talk About The Hesitation On Take Off.
I Appreciate All Your Help And Advice, Ideas, Etc...

If your battery has gone dead or been disconnected recently, the C5 will sometimes "forget" it's idle pattern, and it has to "re-learn" it. There is a procedure for this, but I can't recall what it is. I know it's not real common. If I can find it, I'll post it.
Anyone else know this procedure?
