At what RPM?,sure the 2wd has no tachometer,

Sidekick, with what engine? sure 5speed and 2wd,
but what engine.?
in 1995 they (last year this) 2 engines
the 8v and 16valve,
both, night and day different, EFI.
TBI and MPI injected, 8v is black top, 16v says 16 valves on top.
but both engines, will fail ISC controls like that if there are problems.(idle speed controls)
the surging (hunting) is one of 2 things.

  1. (too lean, or air leaks)
  2. or ISC lost control)
the ECU on the car will in fact hunt the ISC if it can not attain
800 RPM hot IDLE, that is its JOB, to do that, endlessly.
in fact 200 times a second.!
but is not working. (this control, its out of control for sure)
to find this can be easy or hard.? (luck and true causes)
depends on true cause.
I cant do both engines here, be like 10 pages.
The 8v engine races with all air leaks. and hunts. (races)
the 16v goes lean with all air leaks, (air density system is unique)
and goes slower, RPM and may hunt. no RPM stated so cant wax smarter...sorry.

so its a dirty ISC? cant close fully, ? clean it? first.
the 8v has air leaks. caused by vast reasons.
cracked hoses. leaking diaphragms, even the brake booster can leak. lots of leakage patch possible
or some one fiddled the idle air bleed screw making it fail.
try closing that valve (screw) turn it CW directly clock wise.

this page covers both systems.

this ISC cleans just like the EGR that leaks.
egr leaking cause, low RPm and it too, can make the ISC go nuts.
so, but no RPM stated. so.....
eg: hunting from 1000 to 1500RPM
or hunting from 500 to 700 rpm?

i pinch all hoses first.
if RPM drops the hose is cracked or the other end is leaking air.
every 50k miles?

does RPM go below 800 RPM HOT engine?
yes ./no
this a is key factor.

Hi, This morning I was driving my 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van, and I was at a stop and I put my foot on the gas, and it revved really high, but wouldn't go anywhere. I turned it off, and...

Check your transmission fluid level as noted on the trans. dipstick. If low add to proper fill level but Do Not overfill ! If it is low this may solve your problem if not it mat require shop service. Possibly a new transmission filter or maybe worse a trans overhaul.

Chrysler sebring idles fine and runs good when cold but cuts out and dies when warm. car has to be revved up in neutral and dropped into gear at stoplight to get going .

test your coils. the coil pack may have a crack that opens when warm. most of the time it will not show up as bad unless the car is warm.

Have 2005 Jeep Cherokee

it will be very noticeable in low range verse high range has a big gear reduction so you would notice truck very jumpy and revving high when taking off. if you are having problems getting out of low have vehicle in nuetral when switching sometimes helps if truck is rolling just a little so when you are going about 5mph shift into nuetral and let truck roll flip it into high range will usually hear a clunk from shaft when it shifts
