Up Down rev on start
Once I start my svx it revs up to ~1800rpm then it drops quickly to ~500rpm, then revs back up, then back down then back up and stays.
Also has a gas smell after start up but quickly goes away, Once the car is running runs fine. thanks for any ideas

Not sure but I think mine does that too......but I never paid too much attention to it as a problem.
Anyone think there is a problem and why this happens?? Also my 90 legacy started up really funny when the engine was warm....It would start and the tach would bounce and try to stall unless I gave it gas right when I started it....I would watch the needle bounce from 1000 to almost zero and up and down till it found the idle.........VERY WEIRD.......anybody ever seen this???? |

It happens to mine too minus the bad gas odor. I think it happens to every SVX.

You have just had the trans replaced, so I would check all the air hoses around the air inlet, for leaks, and the wiring plugs, to ensure they are tight. Harvey.

While it does cost me, I find "Yes Dear" makes her go away, while "No Dear" means she will stay - and then I do have to listen to her. And believe it or not, she who has never ridden on a motorbike in her life, says Nort has to stay in the family. She's a good woman (but I try not to let on). [hijack/off] |
