- Mazda, 5 Touring
Longtime VW driver, became a 5 owner because it is simply the best design...(if only the front passenger seat could fold flat such that dimensional lumber should be transported readily in interior!
BUT
For a while my 5 has behaving dangerously funny in idle; my best take on symptoms:
I've done some rudimentary maintenance and checks that have not improved anything
Thoughts? Suggestions?(huh)
thanks in advance
BUT
For a while my 5 has behaving dangerously funny in idle; my best take on symptoms:
- car in Drive
- Usually with AC on
- only notice when stopped (foot off gas, foot on brakes) or in coasting idle like when parking (in drive or reverse)
- engine will surge to the point that if I'm not pressing hard on the brake pedal the stop is overcome and the car will move forward OR when slowly parking the idle surges dangerously lurching in parking area(nervous)(mad)
- no CEL
- idle might be a little rough with AC off, haven't noted surge but RPMs might drop a little
- I took it into my neighborhood mechanic who hooked it to a Dx computer in idle and got nothing, noted when compressor cycled RPMs would slightly increase (from 600 to around 800, then back to 600) but that this might just be normal which seems dangerously dumb; further when hooked up to the computer the 5 of course never really goosed in idle to the level that has me concerned
I've done some rudimentary maintenance and checks that have not improved anything
- cleaned MAF
- cleaned airfilter
- fuel system additive cleaner
- sprayed starter fluid looking for vacuum leak (didn't find anything, but I'm also not confident I know the vac diagram)
Thoughts? Suggestions?(huh)
thanks in advance
