Why does the engine surging stop at idle?
If I put a load on the engine by turning on the airconditioning compressor, the surging will often stop. This is an intermittent problem but seems to occur at least 50% of the time and seems to be worse after the engine has warmed up. Thank you for any input. My car has 225000 miles. My car has a manual transmission.
What happens to the engine rpm when idle?
At idle, on an intermittent basis, the rpm repeatedly sur… While idling, my rpm will surge from about 1100 to 1700 over the time frame of a second or two then return to 1100 over that same time frame, then repeat. If I put a load on the engine by turning on the airconditioning compressor, the surging will often stop.
Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light
What causes the Check Engine light to turn off at idle?
At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. The check engine light will randomly turn on and off even if the car is running smoothly without any jerks and stalling.

Is the engine bogging under acceleration a good question?
Is this a good question? Try holding the choke while running at a good speed (15-20 mph). If running improves, you probably have an air leak in the engine. + very well stated question. You should write manuals 😉 I find none of the answers acceptable except the condensor because the problem occurs when the engine gets hot.
