is this something major?

[STUGOTS]

on my 99 R/T when the car finally warms up for the first 10 minutes of driving when you let off the gas as the rpms drop it gets stuck at 1 and 1/2 almost every time you let off the gas, only for the first 1 minutes then its perfect

any ideas?

 

[STUGOTS]

10 minutes sorry

 

[BigCarrot]

Ouch! That's indicative of a very bad problem with your injectors AND your PCM! I'd get it to a Viper tech asap! Nothing a couple grand won't fix.

sounds like the "idle hang" problem. check with sean roe, I believe he has a fix for it. you can also search here, there is a lot of talk about it.

I had the same problem with my 96. I took it to the dealer and they replaced some small motor, I will look at the paper work tonight and let you know what it was.

sounds like the block could be cracked or the canuder valve clogged...

You know, I didn't even think about that, but that's definitely a possibility!

 

[Lawrenzo]

You have an extended warranty on that 99 right- if not I suggest you back date a check to Ringold Dodge and get you one before the $3000 bill arrives from the Viper tech- OOOUUUCCCHHH

Sounds like the wavulator is stuck inside the fromticator... or it could possibly be a jammed kinipling pin.

If it turns out to be the IAC though, I do have a used one available...

Don't listen to those guys. SHEEZZZ!!!!!!

The problem is simple, and the fix is simple. Go to AutoZone or a car parts place, and get a header fuse.
What happens is when a header fuse starts to go out, it will send electric shorts/spikes to other electronic sensors(rpm) and will spike it/cause it to hang. If it only is doing it for the first 10 minutes, it's probably contracting when cold(metal expansion/contracton due to temperature) but it's nit ready to pop/break to fully go out.
I got my replacement at AutoZone for pocket change. Upgrade and use a higher amperage fuse(20amp). If you haven't figured out which side it it, replace both, or to be on the safeside I would do both.
Glad to help you.

now that fuse goes in the fuse box by the drivers right leg right?

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

I think it's muffler bearings... the car is loud, too, right?

NOPE, it's an inline fuse. Sensors use electronic signals to send info to gauges that convert it into data(gauge info), that the gauge reads. The Header fuse is attached to the headers, and the attachment to the wiring is why it can spike. I had to go to AutoZone and they showed me where it was at when I bought the fuses. It's difficult to locate, go the store, and let them show you where it is. Will save you alot of time.

Damm canuder valves! Expensive fix.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Technically the canuder isn't a valve per se'. More like the coolant injectors located in the radiator.

I had the same problem on my 2000, I ended up selling it to a Mustang owner

 

[STUGOTS]

I called Sean Roe he said that its called idle hang and he said its normal

 

[STUGOTS]

Tom no the car is not loud its normal

 

[JonB]

STUGOTS Andy, I just bumped up an old thread on this for you, see "IDLE QUESTION"

It used to be you could ask a question here and get a serious answer....sorry.

 

[STUGOTS]

ok cool i will check that out thanks alot Jon

 

[Craig 201 MPH]

low blinker fluid. glock to the head should fix it.

 

[BigCarrot]

I figured it out! It's head in ass syndrome! I've never had it, but I hear it's bad, and I'm certain it's your problem. You can thank me later.

 

[JWVIPER]

Your not driving fast enough in your driveway.

 

[Viper Specialty]

Your not driving fast enough in your driveway.

I back out of mine at about 90, that may be why I have never had this problem!

 

[GTSTF]

and while you're changing your blinker fluid, don't forget to to change the air in your tires from winter air to spring air.
