Hey Guys,
I have an issue that I have been having with my car for years now and I need to get it fixed. I have taken it to many shops here in town as well as taken it to Ken (viper tech in Portland, Oregon) and no luck. I have spent thousands of dollars on this issue and NO ONE can fix it, and as I am sure you guys can understand, I am getting really angry.
Anyway, here is the issue:
* Quite often, when stopping the car, the RPM comes down too low, occasionally killing the car.
* When this starts to occur, this happens a lot, but there are days that I drive to work without this issue.
Not much more I can say other than that. It ONLY happens when I have been driving and if it idles without load, it seems to be fine. I have replaced numerous parts on the car trying to fix this issue and no luck. I have cleaned sensors, replaced O2 sensors, changed plugs and plug wires more than anyone should ever do on their cars.
The following works was just done by a Viper tech in Portland:
* Valve adjustment
* Idle speed motor replaced
* Replaced cold thermostat with stock one (coolant flush obviously)
* Plugs and Plug wires changed
* Some gaskets replaced
* Side sill panted (don't ask, long story)
* Complete checkup
I drove the car back from Portland with the idle only dropping below normal once, and only for a quick 1/2 second but yesterday it was back to misbehaving.
It is a 1998 GTS with 21k miles on it now. Here are the mods that have been on the car from pretty much day one, which SVS installed.
* 72mm Throttle bodies
* Larger bore airbox
* Roller Rockers
* Cams
* SVS Coated headers
* SVS single tip rear exhaust
* 3.55 gears
* Calibration box that doesn't seem to be working anymore because the car is 5 mph off (***??)
Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue what to do now. I love my car and just want to drive it normally again
