Hello, I bought the car in February, and I fixed a few things since I bought it. I’ve replaced both fuel pumps, fuel injectors, spark plugs, coils, MAP sensor, and rocker arms assemblies. I he run was running fine and then car will idle at 500 RPMs and surges a lot. I scanned it for pending codes and no codes popping up. I’m not sure what to check to see which parts have failed. I have attached a video of how the car acts and sounds when it dropped to 500 RPMs.

Hi,

Oftentimes, a rough or erratic idle is the result of an engine vacuum leak. Have you checked to see if there are any leaks?

If not, start there. Here is a link that explains how to check and repair an engine vacuum leak.

Try this and let me know the results:

Take care,
