Thread: Idle issues

I just bought a 2000 Sentra SE with an SR20DE engine that has 123,000 miles. It idles fine at a cold start but when the idle settles at around 800 rpms it will occasionally drop to around 500 rpms and feel like its going to shut off but it doesnt. I looked all over the internet and it seems to be a common problem but no one had any real answers. I want to fix this before I start any kind of tuning. Ideas anyone?

Idle Air Control Valve? MAFS? Throw me a fucking bone people!

Thank you this should help me. I'm new to these types of forums and I probably would have never found that stuff...

A lot of us make the mistake of thinking the new people understand the forum or search function well/thus the no response to basic threads. Sorry about that.

But here, this'll help you with most things

Spoon feed, desired, eh?

There is a search feature here.....

Thanks man I really appreciate it!

like I said I have NEVER used something like this and it was a pretty simple question. nothing came up useful in the search that is why i posted. isn't that the point of this site?

It is, but when a few days pass, you grow impatient and say this forum sucks. In those four days of waiting you were doing, the searches could have been done.

If you did not get nasty, my comment would not have been made. Your edits are noticed. I hope you can enjoy the forum and find the help you need.
