Starts rough.

Post by DopeVibeGT »

The last couple of days, I've starts my Vibe and when it starts, the rpm's drop for a second, like it's going to stall, then go back up. Before, it just started and went right up to idle. Only thing I've had done recently was the serp. belt (Which was a nightmare!!! Who designed those tensioners??) Any ideas.

how's the battery? Idle air control valve controls idle, so it's possible it's on the fritz or dirty.. Tune up?

Battery is around a year old.I can check the IAC valve. Would that effect the idle all the time, even when warm?Plugs have less then 50K miles on them. Maybe I'll just replace them, though....Edit: Where is the IAC on the GT?
