So that's normal with the boxer 4? Ok, I asked the salesman, but he was pretty clueless about the vehicle.

Mine did it literally twice. Once was about 3 days after purchase, and the other time the temperature had dropped something like 50* overnight.

Both times it just did a quick blip below 500 rpms, but then caught and went back to a normal idle. Nothing bad happened, but kinda scary.

I've put 19,000 miles on the car since the last time it happened, though, and it has been good since.

Of course, it could also just be bad gas or whatever
