Hey,

Has anyone had a problem with their rpm falling below idle when they come to a stop with the AC on? It seems to keep getting worse. And i swear it was going to stall out last night. I am currently over my mileage for my warrentee(39,000 in 10 months of owning the car). and was wondering if it was a common problem.

Thanks

P.s.,

I have a 2006 SS S/C G85
And it sometimes does it without the AC on, but not as often and not as bad

 

define "falling below idle"

the car will idle a bit lower with the AC due to the increased engine drag, and the rough idle is just an issue with the car, there are re-flash's for it.

 

yea, be more specific... what is the rpm dropping to? and damn, that's alot of miles.

 

the RPMS fall spastically to 250-500 RPMS(and basically barely hangs on and you can feel the car wanting to stall) and the car does it 2 or 3 times when i come to a stop and then settles back to idle. I know it will idle a bit lower with the AC.... but never that low.

I drive 109 miles one way to work(Central Jersey to Wilmington, DE{I work for GM and build the Solstice,Sky,Opel GT, and Deawoo G2K}) so the miles rack up.

 

dirty injectors? wrong fuel? there could be alot of reasons for that happening. get it scanned for free at auto zone, then tell us what code came up, if any

 

i read somewhere that there's a reflash for this.. i'm looking into it also, as my car does the same thing.

 

my understanding from kellyperf from the forums that end in .com is that there should be a reflash available.

 

Hey my car does the exact same thing. It actually stalled a couple days ago right as I rolled up to a stop sign, and was like WTF?!? Does anyone know if there is a reflash out for this for sure? I don't have a lot of time to take my car up to the dealer, so I'd rather know exactly what to tell them to do.

 

I have had the reflash 3 times already - last time cost me $110 and did nothing - @##$ing sick of the problem - no codes are stored so the $tealership has no clue.

 

I have a sure fire way to fix the rpm problem(it worked for me) SELL THE POS! Car was sold last week!!!!

 

My LS does the same thing. Sometimes at start up. Maybe an intake issue or something. I don't know.

 

Actually, I think that the car increases its rpm with the AC on. As soon as I turn mine on, my idle raises about 100rpm. I can see it on the tac.

 

Boxwood plant? I worked there in the days of the beretta/corsica and then the changeover to the malibu. What dept. are you in?

 

my car did that alot and always stalled out and the dealer had to reflash it and it was ok

 

I work in material right now. I miss the Linden Plant.

 

Material? If I remember correctly, thats where all the hottie gals r at. Either you lucked out or u must have seniority. I was a floater. Paint, final line, chassis to name a few. Paint dept. still on the second level? I can still remember forgetting to unlatch that beretta off the dolly and when the robot tried to take it off... screeching and snapping as the frame of the car tore in half. unforgetable sound.. hideous and quite scary. How I didn't lose my job is beyond me.
