    Unhappy Weird idling... help

    After I drive my 02 VY for a bit, the engine gets all funny at the lights, when the car is idling. Its an auto, so that could be an issue, but instead of idling at about 500-600 revs, it does 1000+ sometimes, when the car is stationary, and you can hear the engine from the outside.

    Furthermore, the scary part is when I finally park the car after its been doing this at the lights, it goes up to 2500+ revs and thats insane when the car is in park and my foot is off the accelerator. If I turn the car off and back on again, its all good and I'm back to idling at 500-600 revs in park, but a few days later, or even later that day, the whole problem starts again.

    I don't know whats goin on, but I had a similar issue in my old VS, but I got rid of it. Now its happening in my VY and I'm worried I may be cursed with a weird idling issue in V6 cars... please help

    Before you do anything else check all your intake hoses. An airleak on the intake can cause all sorts of issues.
