idleing

this is probably a stupid question that I just can't figure out but my when my car is idleing at a stop light it seems like it can't find a good idle spot. it bounces between about 600 and 900 rpm. any answers

RE: idleing

try replacing youre IAC, i had that issue, and replacing it helped smooth it out some. some here will tell you to clean it, which can be done, i found it eaiser to just replace it.

RE: idleing

it only shows the 3.8 engine in the book and the 5.0 but no 4.6. so if you have the pic of the 4.6 that would be great

RE: idleing

Actually dont replace it. Just get a can of carb cleaner and clean the **** out of it. Its probably due to a lot of carbon build up in it. Try that before you replace it.
