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

 

All sounds normal.

 

Has anyone else had the same issue?

 

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.

 

Ok.. cool... I am glad it was nothing weird.. Also I have another question what is that long gray tube on the side of the battery?

What is that for?

 

Tube is to vent acid fumes. Make sure it is attached.

 

Vent to the outside...... because the battery is in the passenger compartment it's required.

 

I motice the bottom part is attached to the bottom but the other end of the hose it kinda kinda just hangs there...

Let me know if that is normal.

Thanks

 

OK, it is connected to battery & just goes thru the floor to underneath.. hanging there is A-OK normal..

Relax & take a ride..

 

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?
