Symptom
Engine Surging or Hunting? We Find Why
An engine speed that rises and falls on its own, at idle or at a steady cruise, usually means the engine is chasing a target it cannot hold. We read fuel trims and sensor data to see what the computer is reacting to, and pull any check engine light codes, before recommending parts. Serving Lynchburg VA and Forest.

Answers
Common questions
- Could a vacuum leak cause surging?
- Often, yes. Unmetered air makes the computer hunt for the right mixture. We confirm the leak with testing rather than replacing parts on a hunch.
