Title: rpm's jumping and diving
Post by: superpinto on June 24, 2007, 11:29:21 PM
when you start the car it will idle fine for a couple of minutes then the rpm's start falling and jumping . while driving it runs really ruff the transmission shifts really hard . the people we bought it from weren't very honest .alot of the wiring was rigged its got new wires,plugs,cap and rotor. its a fila car.

Bad idle could be egr, injectors, or a vac leak. Trans shifting bad could be due to a mis adjusted TV rod.
