sometimes my car likes to idle high, at like 1500 then drops to 900 and sometimes when it drops, it likes to bog down and sputter like its going to die, but it doesnt.
sometimes you can smell like my car is burning something, but i really cant tell.
angela, let me know what fixes your problem so i can go straight to that to see if it works for me, so i can eliminate that first.
thanks
yours might be the EGR valve on the intake manifold. Looks like a space ship toward the back of the manifold. There is a vaccum line under it that cracks and leaks vaccum and will make the car run like crap. Normally idle goes up not down, but worth a look. Just a couple of bolts, replace the line and back in business..
