Idle drops and car seems like wants to turn off

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ix1pk4ox7i...64029.mp4?dl=0


Ok so I bought a fit last wk and been trying to figure out some issues. A cel came on the day after I got it and said misfire in cylinder 3. I spoke with the previous owner he said he changed the coil packs and spark plugs but I found out he only changed 2 spark plugs and 1 coil pack. From researching I decided to change all 4 coil packs and spark plugs. Car seems to drive good but now the issue is when in park the idle seems low and if I Rev it up and let it come back down it will go to 0 and feel like it wants to turn off. Any ideas please help I'm new to the fits and not what I expected to deal with a wk of having her. I made a video but no idea how to post it on here..

Post your vid on Youtube, or load it to a file sharing site like Dropbox or Photobucket.

I'd Clean the Throttle Body and do the Idle Learn Procedure. If that doesn't solve the issue, have the valve lash adjusted.


Let us know how you made out.

SEARCH the term on this Forum.


Basically, you idle a warm engine for 5 minutes (with the a/c, cooling fans, and other electrical loads OFF). The engine computer will then learn the proper idle RPM. (It will eventually learn it on it's own, too...but the ILP is faster)

Do this AFTER you clean the throttle body... (You can SEARCH that procedure also)

The GD3 is a great car but have their share of quirks. Don't give up!
I just bought a second one and holy .... the previous owner was a cobb artist from cobitup,usa.
but all in all it's weeded out and running tight! with 184K on the clock. love it > good investment

Thanks man, trying not to give up lol.. I changed the 4 coil packs and spark plugs seems to be running better and has mileage seems better but now there's like a whining sound when I first turn on the car and once it warms up seems to go away. Also a idle issue, it's idling low and if I Rev it up it drops to 0 and wants to shut off..

Same experience. Low idle, jerky low rpm acceleration. Found out that i have oil in my plugs thread. Is it possible this is the reason why?
