Idle dips

What would cause the idle to dip? I hold it at say 1700 rpms, and every 10 seconds or so it will drop 400 rpms for a second then go back up. Is there something pulling juice? I had the defrost and everything off. Thanks

Mine does that all the time when the compressor cycles, but with it off....

An irregular signal from the ICP, or a bit of trash in the IPR maybe??

More info needed: when it drops does it sound like a cylinder is dropping?

Thanks guys, To me it sounds like when you run the AC or the defrost, you know how it put a small load on the motor? Thats kinda what it sounds like

Yeah 400 rpm drop is too much to just be AC cycling on and off. Gotta be a sensor acting up or something. My first thought is the IPR or the HPOP pressure sensor going south or at the very least a poor connection to one or both.

I have to agree with Kwik. Hey guys is there a good engine electrical diagram to download on all or most of the sensors and their locations? Sometimes I read over these threads and really wonder where the heck is this one. LOL. I am sure all would benifit.

Thanks Wings

This one is decent. Though I do not believe it is an exact reproduction as I have run across a few discrepancies.
