When does engine surging happen in a car?
When does engine surging happen in a car?
The surging is bad when the engine is cold and not at optimum running temperature. The rpm fluctuates up and down and I do feel vibrations as it does that. When warm it’s not as bad but it still does it whenever I’m driving and the surging only happens when I’m driving.
What to do if engine surging while driving Audi?
If the engine runs smooth, then the IAC needs to be replaced. If there is no change, then unplug the harness to the IAC and see if there is power to the IAC. If there is no power to the IAC, then check for resistance from the plug to the IAC to the pins on the ECM (computer).

Engine surging is when an engine starts easily and accelerates smoothly, however after a few minutes at a steady speed, it either surges in speed or misfires. Misfiring happens when one of the cylinders of an engine’s combustion cycle fails. Since an engine has four cylinders, the car would still run if one cylinder fails.
How long does it take to fix engine surging?
A common malfunction you will likely encounter is engine surging, and knowing how to fix this in under 45 minutes is a maintenance tip you must master early. The internal combustion engine relies on the precise cyclical operations of a multitude of parts, including precise air/fuel mixture, spark timing and exhaust management.
When to set DTC for engine surge maintenance?
• After driving at 6.25 mph or more, the actual engine idling speed varies from the target idling speed by between 100 and 200 rpm, five times or more during a drive cycle. • If the actual idling speed varies from the target idling speed by more than 200 rpm five times or more during a drive cycle, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
