Need help

My car is starting to jump when I am in drive at idle. It only happens every once in awhile. I just recently noticed that the RPM went down just a tad when I felt it. I just changed spark plugs and transmission filter so I don't know what else it could be. If anyone has had this issue and knows what it is please let me know. I am afraid it is going to die one day and Ill be stuck.

What do you mean "jump at idle". Do you mean that the rpm is fluctuating at idle? Stalling?

If the RPM is fluctuating you can try the idle learn procedure and the you'd have to check to see if you have a vacuum leak or perhaps a faulty airflow sensor.

Well initially the RPM weren't changing but now they are, and now it didn't while I was in reverse.

Yea, its located right besides the spring for the ejector seat

Since the Fit has an electrical power steering system, the answer is yes, I am messin' with you

You know, that's not nice. I'm just a d*mb*ss Fitter, not a smart Aston Martin-type guy.
