    when window rolls down idle goes down

    whenever i roll up my window at a stop the engine kinda idles low for a split second, but i've noticed it only does it on the left window(has slow motor!) Is the slow motor zapping power from the engine? What can i do to solve the problem?

    Hmm....usually when it does that, it's when there's a load on the alternator (I think I explained that right...). Like when the cooling fan kicks it, the idle speed drops for a quick second. I don't think there's much to worry about.

    mine does that too
    somebody on the last forum said that by doing that it will load the alternator
    this is one way to make your idle go down quicker on cold start days
