Ok so i just performed an oil change on my 7afe. The first couple of weeks the car was fine but now when the engine is at normal operating temperature the rpm idle drops to about 600-700 rpm and the car feels like its about to die. Anybody know why it does this? nothing is wrong with any vacuum lines, everything has been kept up to date.

hmm, and you checked the base timing with a jumper in the "E-1" and terminal "Te-1" in the dieg port?

well.. not saying that you have not checked it right, but its an easy thing to over look..

and after an oil change.. same oil type and filter as b4? defiantly odd..

good luck
