Ever had this problem?

95BLBLVert · Jan 19, 2004

This has been an ongoing problem now for quite some time. The car runs great but almost everytime I am pulling into a parking spot (low idle, braking to a stop), the idle drops below 500 for a second and of course the voltmeter takes a dive as well. I'm wondering if, since the brakes are vacuum assisted, this is a vacuum related. Would a decrease in vacuum at low idle directly or indirectly affect the electrical system?

Thanks

Someone? Surely somebody has had this problem or knows the mechanics behind it.

Try raising your idle up a little bit. I couldnt get my car to idle worth $hit before, now its pretty steady at 900rpm. On your throttle body there will be a little rubber cap next to the IAC sensor, remove that cap and back out that screw a little until your car starts to idle better.

This helped me out and now my car doesnt stall anymore.

Could be a vacuum leak. It's almost 10 years. Time to buy some vacuum lines and change all the old ones out. I bought 2 foot of 1/4 inch up to 5/8th inch hoses and went to town. I was suprised what came off the car.
