Weird Idle problem.

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well... I don't know but that seems perfectly normal, if you have a really
good sticky clutch, your below 2000 rpm should only be driven in first gear
really.. its a matter of torque, too much load (gearwize) for output by
engine in 2nd gear... does it do this in 1rst gear under 2000rpm?


I make this statement from the educated mechanical way to test if your
clutch is bad (i.e.: put in second gear and release clutch if the car stall
= good pressure plate and clutch, if car moves without trying to stall you
need to replace clutch disk (slippage).

SO I say its normal.
