Why does RPM fluctuate when idle?
Why does my engine’s RPM seem to fluctuate (runs rough)? Many engine performance problems can be linked to maintenance issues such as stale fuel, dirty air filter, fouled spark plug, and deteriorated oil. Engine hunting and surging at idle is usually caused by a fuel delivery, air leak, or governor system problem.
What causes engine rpm to drop at stop light?
engine rpm drops or stalls at stop light on abrupt braking. Hi there. In many cases, the issue you’re talking about is caused by an ignition timing problem; typically related to a damaged crankshaft position sensor or trouble within your ignition system such as the coil or distributor.

Why does voltage drop as the length of a wire increases?
