Hey guys, first post here, need some help with my cavalier if youre willing...
its an 03, about 27k km's on it. about 3 weeks ago I started getting random RPM drops in all gears when I was below 3000 rpms. I'd have my foot on the pedal completely steady and I'd drop from 3000 to 2700 and then jump right back up. it's been getting progressively worse and now I get it all the time.
couple of other related things. when I'm in neutral, parked (this was a couple of days ago) I was revving hard, and the engine would just bog down completely. I'd have my foot 3/4 of the way down on the pedal and the RPM's would go up to 2k, then just drop back to 1k and hover around 1500 until I released my foot (then the RPMs'd rise). Pretty much every time I move from a dead stop now I have to be really cautious not to stall because no matter how much gas I give, the RPMs stay at the dead idle 900 or so for a couple of seconds and then rise enough for me to shift into first. I have to wait about a week until I can get this looked at since I don't have time until then... does this seem like a serious problem or just something simple like a bad sensor?
It doesnt happen at anything above 3k RPM, and it seems like my fuel mileage is getting worse too.
thanks thanks...
