soo, i let the car warm up and everything was runing fine, i was sittin at a light and i turned my wheel to the left and the idle jumped like 300rpm, and i didnt think it really happend so i turned the wheel the other way and the idle jumped up a little again, soo wtf is that about?? i turn my wheel and the car revs a lil??why is that??

if you have power steering, when you turn the wheel it puts a little drain on the motor at low rpms... the pump is sending fluid through the lines to make the wheel eaised to turn. You don't notice it under normal operating levels, I think you're fine...

dammwell thanks my dood, i was hella wonderin because ive never felt that before, do you think i should just pull the power stearing??

 

[blaketeg]

[Rich-PMS]

Just like if you're idling and turn the ac on- does the same thing

Every car WITH powersteering.

thanks for correcting, forgot to add that in there but of course every car ive owned has had power steering, couldnt drive without it :shock:

i think power steering helps if you're in the city scene parallel parking & whippin it real quick, but i don't really like how much play the wheel has at 70+... it doesn't bother me enough to delete it tho, but it's a personal prefrence. delete that shit if you don't llike it & my car idles 800-900 rpm:thumbs up

normal idle should be around 750 to 900 and the powersteering is like that on these cars. but i always take mine off i dont like it.

how do i adjust idle??

 

[JCNOOGEN]

my car doesnt do that.. lol.. but if i roll up or down my window it does that lmao !

how do i adjust idle??

There is a nut on the throttle cable that can be loosened/tightened to decrease/increase your idle. It is a 10mm bolt. Make sure to start your car and allow it to get to operating temperature before setting idle. I believe the book tells you to set idle at 850rpm. That's what it says under the hood of my car.

 

[JCNOOGEN]

lol i set my idle at 1g straight.. lol..
