hey guys, and possibly girls, my name is travis and i bought an 06 ss/sc today, my previous car was an 04 2.2 ion. so i'm familiar with the 2.0,2.2 and 2.4 just introducing myself. i do have one question, i noticed when i i'm not in gear or when the clutch is pushed in the idle goes up and down, it doesn't stay steady, is that normal or what?

 

Try cleaning your TB

 

it's got 37,000 miles on it, you think thats the problem?

 

That's my guess. They get pretty dirty.

 

Known common problem,
Clean your throttle body

Where does the dirt come from?

 

Welcome!

 

thanks, okay 2 really stupid questions, the tb is before the supercharger right? i'm pretty sure, but i'm not really familiar with boost. and to clean it ya'll recommend i take it off?

 

mine does that too when im coming to a stop, like if im about to stop i drop it in neutral and the rpms go down and up just in the idle area, nothing out of line, so i should clean mine too haha. and welcome i have a 06 ss sc too, best yr

 

Vent valve on the valve cover.

 

Wow, + 1 for posting in the correct section, and not the classifieds section.

 

i'm on ionforums. and i can''t stand that when rooks do that, so i try to make a good first impression

 

In our cars yes, the TB is before the supercharger.

In some vehicals the the TC/SC is before the Throttle body, and the area between is called "Upper Deck"

 

i had mine have that idle problem, took it in and they said it had a code n they deleted the code n it hasnt done it since and that was about a year anda half ago.

welcome!

 

If start by cleaning the tb this happend on a buddy of mines car and we just cleaned the tb and that seemed to take car of it.
