When i get the engine revved up around 5000 rpm's in my 850 the low windshield washer light flashes on until i shift into 2nd. any ideas why?
I also have another couple problems that i was wondering about... when i shut the car off my break pedal goes completly hard. I can barely push in the pedal which is bad because i have a standard and right now i dont really have a parking brake that works. Also, i seem to have another common problem...sometimes when i come to a stop my car will take a dive in RPMs down to about 600 then jump back up and it doesnt really seem natural...any insight would be appreciated! :liebe011: |

That's why if you shut-down the engine, the pedal becomes hard. But if you continue to press hard, the brakes WILL come into play. As for your RPM, try cleaning your IACV and the throttlebody as well, and see if there is any difference. |
