A Galant that cam's?

LoL, no probally not, but it sure does sound like it, my problem is that I will be at idle and my car fluxuates from 800rpm to 1000rpm and sometimes it will dip so low that my car will die. What could be causing this, I am thinking dirty air filter maybe? But im just a novice about car problems and engines so I was hoping to get some other opinions..thanks.

do you have high idle on warm starts? you coudl have a dead iac motor?

[Cyniket]

Sometimes when I start it it sits at about 1100rpm for like 5-10 seconds, but then it goes back to "camming"

Mine have same behaviour, can anyone clarify? :roll:

if you have an aftermarket intake...check all the connections and seals. make sure everything is tight. mine did that, but it ended up being a loose circle clamp at the MAS.

Or it could just be that you're running your A/C, and the RPMs are dropping everytime the condensor (I think...correct me anyone?) disengages.

I hardly use my AC at all, and I have stock intake for now.

Your throttle body needs cleaning. Also check the air filter. Yes, you're on the right track. You'll have to remove your intake from the throttle body to clean it. Then get a rag and a can of "carb and choke cleaner" and go to town. There's directions here for how to do it in about 50 different posts. I will almost guarantee this will solve your problem if you thoroughly clean the TB.

yep...mine was doing the same thing so i cleaned my TB. just make sure you don't over do it with the carb cleaner or else you will hydrolock.
