Hey guys, today I cranked up, left the garage headed down i-10 towards work, get off the exit and hit the light, and I put it in neutral (long light) and the rpms drop down to about 300ish and it feels like the car is going to stall she was shaking .... it did this for several stops... on the way home shes driving like normal. I was low on gas, but my light wasn't even on yet. any ideas? alternator possibly? 03 w/ 123xxx cls-6

 

try cleaning out your throttle body. it worked for me.

 

^the advice I was going to give. Also, clean the dreaded IMRC.

 

Damn, I might go pay a mexican to do it, dude I dont feel like dealing w/ the imrc

 

but he might call you pedro on accident...

 

i'll give it a shot, ty.

btw, i think you have every possible mod ever.

 

I have his 03 steering wheel

 

 

what do you mean whatface?

 

not all... still trying to get my hands on a sc

 

now if only i can get rid of the airbag.

 

My advice would be to clean out the IAC.

 

Didn't know there was a diff between 01-03

 

try some seafoam. should be a quick fix....

 

^i seafoam'd about 4-5months ago.... but i did do a long roadtrip over the holidays.... will it harm anything if i do it again?

 

 

 

How do you clean the IAC?

 

I was having the same problem and my buddy asked me when the last time the plugs were changed. I laughed cause I had never thought of changing them since i've owned the car (just one of those things you don't think about).

Picked up some new ones and when I pulled the old ones they didn't look to bad. Now she runs perfect. I'm gonna clean the throttle body as soon as it warms up for that extra little bit. Feels so much better now with the new plugs!

 

Yeah my plugs probably have 30k on em. However she's been driving fine today, maybe it was bad gas?
Kind of like bennett after eating thai food.

 

how do u clean the throttle body? got a link?

also can anyone give me a link to a picture of the IMRC im so lost trying to find it!!! lol
