| I don't know exactly how it happened but my car's idle started to hang a bit around 1300 then settle. But then out of nowhere I noticed it hangin, but wouldn't come down. A little adjustment on the iacv and everything is cool, but I don't know why it would just start doing that out of the blue. Any thoughts? | |

| no A/C and its 5 speed. I don't know why it would just start doing this.
Acutally, could it be the alternator? I did just notice that when I turn the lights on my idle dropps about 200rpm. | |

| Oh, ok. Sounds good.
I haven't had any problems with the motor since I got it running. I did a few extra grounds to make sure, but anything is possible I guess. | |

| Nah, not the TPS for sure. I've had tps problems... but I don't wanna go there unless someone has a problem.
Anyway, there was nothing to induce this behavior. No tinkering or anything. I think I'm just going to call it a fluke cause its fine now and has been fine for a couple days. | |
