Little issue at idle..

pty370z · 10-04-2010, 03:08 PM

Hi guys,

Just wanted to post this thing that's been happening for a little while and not really sure what could it be...

I have a 6MT w/sport package 370Z.. I have bolt-on mods like Stillen CBE, Berk HFCs, Stillen Gen3 Intakes, Stillen standard pulley...

The thing is, I've noticed that when I'm driving around, as soon as I stop, for example at a red light, and the car is idling, engine RPMs are steady usually at 750rpm, but for a fraction of a second they drop a little below 500rpm giving the feeling that the car is going to shutdown, and then the RPMs raise back up to normal idling... I can drive around for a while and whenever I stop it will happen again...

Any ideas on what may be causing this..?? Could this be a leak on the intakes or exhaust..??

I'll try to get it on video and post it up..

Any help appreciated...
