Odd issue reared its head last night.

Idle is oscillating between 350-650ish rpm at stop lights.

Occasionally dies when letting off the brake pedal at a light.

No codes. No glaring symptoms.

Almost seems like a vacuum leak. Are there common areas that like to cause leaks on these?

SOLVED: good god guys I am so ashamed of the solution. The coupler from my Corsa intake box to the tube, had slipped off, essentially making a giant vacuum leak. Keep it simple fellas, that’s usually the answer

That happened to me after I put on my MIT tube about a year and half ago.
I was out of town in a downpour in city traffic...
blocking traffic, all the good stuff !!!
Took me a bit.. Once I got the thing to run long enough to get off the
street into a parking lot.. Then found it !!!!!!!!

If only we all had access to a lift bay for working on our cars.

Can you imagine if those new tract homes in planned communities had an option for a lift bay in a garage? It’d be the frick’n coolest gearhead neighborhood ever.

It’d be like “Yea, bring your car over, we’ll put it on the lift, see what’s going on and turn on the grill.”
