Just like a real library.... You need to start checking things out... There isn't a stern librarian that's going the give you "the look" through those little round librarian glasses.... Just jump in there... You can even make a bunch of noise.. Just....... DO IT...

What is the code?

A lot of us have had codes and can help you find the fix or at least point you in the right direction to fixing it yourself.

Most of the time the direction you need to go is NOT to the Stealership for an overpriced repair bill.

 

You could have a loose or cracked hose leading into the crankcase if they are loose or cracked then they are letting air in causing the change in idle.

If its a pending code it will clear itself if the problem no longer continues. Check all your vacuum lines and make sure all the connections are tight.

What year car and model? turbo or SC or Justa?

 

ok good luck. opcorn:

 

Really good luck, I mean it.

Yes, it could be a crack that is not big or a bad connection that is intermittent. Harder to find. I'd think about a smoke test at a shop. That will show any vacuum leaks.
