Sweet, thanks for all the info man!

 

my 3.2 b7 idles at around 1100 rpm for a minute or two when i havent driven it for a while...then goes down to 8-900. is that not normal?

 

Another possible cause of the symptoms you are experiencing is a bad coolant temp sensor.

It can cause the problems you are having, and could be related since the problem goes away once the car warms up.

You may try searching "collant temp sensor" or CTS and see if the other posters were reporting similar symptoms to what you are having.

Its not too expensive, so if none of the other things pan out, you may want to try replacing the cts.

 

Judging by the subject line, I thought you had an issue with one of the American Idols.

 

Thanks again for the help, once im off work ill be able to check it out later!

 

Okay I think i have found the problem, but not positive. . .

I looked up where the Secondary Air Pump/Secondary Air Injection System was and the pump and unit look to be in fine condition but its missing a "corner" piece of a hose COMPLETELY!?

Could this be causing my idle problem, and if so how do i know what part number this hose is since it is completely missing??

 

Haha that's funny... do those two ends possibly connect to other stuff, or do you think they are just supposed to be joined? I've never looked closely at mine...
Chances are though, if yours is making the jet engine noise... it's too far gone anyways.

 

I believe it's jsut a connecting "corner" hose by this diagram picutre i found. . . i'm trying to find the part number right now. any tips?
