Weird issues with 2009 HHR
Hello Guys,
I am having a weird issue is not that constant but its concerning. Sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon when the HHR has been sitting there for more than an hour. I will turn it on and it hesitates a little when it trying to idle. I can see the RPM gauge going from 1.5 and a little lower than 1 it will do that for no more that 30 seconds and then it will idle fine. Also when I turn on the A/C it acts the same way but I am not sure if that is normal or not.
Also the gasoline gauge seems to sometimes lower itself a little than the day before and then as I travel say for 10 minutes the gauge moves up. Sometimes the computer will tell me I have 198 miles till empty then I will make a stop turn off the car and come back and turn it back on and now it reads I now have 233 miles till empty.
Am I experiencing a problem or is this normal?
Thanks
John

I've had lower than normal idle on occasion, seems pretty random here though. (more frequent with AC on, but I don't use AC a lot) This usually happens, not at startup, but after it's been running and I stop for a light.... only lasts a few seconds and returns to normal. More than likely it won't happen at the next light.... very random.
The miles left in the tank.. I don't rely on so never really paid attention to it.

Well to be more specific..its hook from the bottom from the top there is no connection I can wiggle the hose just anywhere.. just the bottom part is hook to the bottom of the car. Is thet what you mean by normal?
