idle problem

[cleanjdm]

my car is auto, and wen im slowing down or at a light the idle goes down several times like it wants to die. also, i can smell the exhast fumes in my car, wen i sart it up, or even wen im at a light. i know for sure i have an exhast leak, would this cause the problem?

I dont think that the exhaust leek would cause the problem. because in the other cb that i had my resonator had a hole and it ran perfectly.

exhaust leak is for the most part just going to be annoying ricey sound and the odor.

low power at stop lights (especially with a system on or headlights) maybe corroded grounds, bad ground wires, your alternator could be going bad as well. Do you have your fans or a/c running? that could cause idle dip also.

i have a rewound alternator that i purchased from a member on here and its 130 amps. i have a second battery for tha system.....grounds look fine. a/c isnt on......car dipps wen system is on or not. and if the car isnt "dipping" at all n my system is all tha way on it still doenst affect the idel.(must be the yellow top an 1/0 )

check engine light on?

Check:
Electronic Air Control Valve (EACV) (14)
Fuel Injectors (16)

same thing is happening to my car but only when i first start it up. Try cleaning out the IACV. it's attached to the throttle body.

clean out the IACV and EGR valve, all you do is take carb cleaner to it once its removed and spray the shit outta it. the IACV is that thing in front of the plenum w/ two coolant lines going outta it...to the left and to the right. The EGR kinda looks like it has a binder clip sorta thing on it and its to the left of the fuel rail.

I did it right before i went to get my emissions checked and passed easily after i cleaned both of them out.
