i was at a stop light 2day and i decided to look down at my tach ( no particular reason as i drive a ATX) and it was at about 750, later in the day i looked down again and it was down at 500. is this normal?

I added some oil and it stopped for a while. I'm not sure WTF it is. It happened after I seafoamed but i'm going to say it's not neccessarily a good thing

Mine does it too. I drop it into neutral and it raises the revs back to "normal". Prob just some vacuum problem in all the ATXs.

My RPMs dropped to about 600 two times. Car almost stalled. Was only for a second, though, sitting in neutral somewhere.

My ATX does the same. Sometimes it jumps between 600 and about 800

On my 01 after I installed the AEM CAI it started to drop low at stop lights. Put the car in neutral at every stoplight/stop sign and it wouldn't go down anymore.
