HA HA HA, Finally figured out my weird idle problem...

I guess I should have noticed this sooner...my weird idle is only when my headlights are on...I guess the ground is bad. LOL. It was funny tonight, people musta thought I was trying to flash THEM..driving around with headlights ON/OFF/ON/OFF/ON/OFF. Everytime I'd turn them off, the tach would be perfectly at 650rpm, smooth as silk, but whenever I turned them on, the tach would jump up to 900, then crazily bounce between 1000-700. Hahahahaha Guess I'll fix that, IF it's not raining 2moro.

Kinda, but except i don't HAVE an erratic idle, it's just the TACH...when the headlights are off, the idle is perfect!

Couldn't this have been diagnosed in a parking lot or your driveway?
