Brief RPM dive when stopped.

At 55k miles, it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and clean the throttle bodies. It's not all that easy to remove the TBs but it's not

At 55k miles, it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and clean the throttle bodies. It's not all that easy to remove the TBs but it's not all that difficult either. Check some of the DIYs on this site and see if you feel comfortable doing it. While you're in there, I'd go ahead and clean the MAFs (super-easy job; all you need is a big Phillips screwdriver and some MAF cleaner).

But that's just a shotgun "fix" - do some data monitoring/logging to help pinpoint the problem.

I'm going to be tearing into the car pretty soon. I'll hit the TB's and MAFs at the same time. I figured 55k on the ol' lady it's about time I clean them too but I wasn't sure if it was possible if the TB's (or MAF for that matter) could cause a dip in RPM.

I'll snag a video later so you guys can see what I'm talking about.
