Sometimes when i'm sittng at a traffic light or any stop for that matter my maggies' RPM's drop pretty low and the car shakes a lot and then the RPM's jump right back up and the shaking stops. This ever happen to anyone and if it has what was your problem? I have an 2007 SXT with 37k on the odometer, no engine mods

get your dealer to install a data recorder. that should fix it. lol.

mine was doing the exact same thing several times a day a couple of weeks ago so i installed a data recorder to capture and graph an event. hasn't happened since. :doh:
still hoping for it to happen again soon. if/when it happens again and i find the cause, i'll post it here.

Mine did that a couple times back in the early summer but hasn't since .. touch wood..

Dealer told me was my brakes, so told em suck arse as what can brake do when at a stop.. they kept thinking it was while "stopping" no matter how I explained it.. Needless to say I no go there anymore..

I have found out most stuttering at idle is usally due to vacum or a lack of it. The metal tube that plugs into the back of the manifold seems to get loose and the gasket sucks. If you have had the intake off for any reason start there first.

mine was low compression in cylinder 5. they rotated the valves and it went away.

Is it below 40 degrees where you live?

Don't think Super Chip applies to a V6.

:boohoo: Try adding a bottle of water remover in the gas sold at local auto parts. In temps below 40 f degrees moisture may build up in the gas lines causing the car to shake/low rpm on idle. The moisture builds up pockets of air and water, where there no is gas causing low rmp and possibly the car turning off on idle. Or check your gas tank cap, make sure it closes tight.

Yup, Borned and Raised for 18 years, moved to FL in 1999 for college.

Well where I live the temp is about 70F or up (South Florida) and I gotta check the vacuum lines maybe I gotta leak somewhere
