My car is having issues Idling when warmed up.
When the car is cold it idles from 2000-2500RPM, but from what I understand that's somewhat normal for our cars. Once it's warmed up however Idle makes a drastic change to 5-700RPM and it's usually a rough idle at that. Here's the kicker tho, if it's warm and you rev it up, or you driving along and you put the clutch in, it dies. When I try to re start it while it's still hot it won't start. It will however start if you give it a little gas.then it goes back to rough idle until the next time you rev the engine up. It's also running hotter than it should.
Also, and this may not be related, but it's also a problem. The car will occasionally "chug" or "stammer" at about 4500RPM, it's almost like a rev limiter.
Also I just did a Timing belt job, and replaced the battery. before the T belt job the idle was rough, and low, but it never died. The 4500rpm chug was also present before the T belt job.
