my car gets cold chills

[russ_512]

my car has this problem where when its cold outside, even a little chilly it will start revving up on its own it will go from like 1.5 to 2.5 and no one has been able to tell me the problem. any ideas would be helpful. thanks

Is it surging from 1500 to 2500, or gradually rising? Idle surge is usually a vacuum leak.

[russ_512]

it will go up to 2500 then drope back down to 1500 and then go back up and down and so on.

Check for vacuum leaks, clean out your IACV & FITV. Does it run fine otherwise? If the motor's been neglected it could just be a symptom of a bigger problem.

yea it runs fine besides that. the only problems with the car is that it needs a clutch cause it slips and it has an oil leak. the ac has been removed. could that have anything to do with it??

Check your coolant level too. If it's low, you'll need properly to fill and bleed the system.
