Idle problems.
I know this issue has been discussed before so i'm not going to go much in it. My car during warm up sometimes goes from less than 500 rpm to all the way over 1100 rpm. My car is a 2012 and I only run ethanol free 93 octane. I called my dealer to try and get this fixed and they told me it sounds normal (not to me). He told me without a check engine light he couldn't do much, but he told me to fill up with midgrade (89 with 10% ethonal) for 2 tank fulls and if that doesnt help to call them. I was wondering if this will do more harm then good and maybe if I should try another dealer?

Do not use 89. It usually starts from 1200RPM and it settles between 500-700RPM. I think it is normal as long as it stays in this range.

he is using 93 so why are you saying its the gas? should he be using 104? i think you might have misread that first post

If that doesn't work it might be the idle valve But op mine did the same thing and it was my low pressure sensor Just wait for the engine light to come on cause if your idle keeps going up and down at any time of day cel will show up soon

I think you misunderstood me. We have 3 pump choices. 93, 89, 87. I only use 93 *shell v power. At my gas station 93 is the only one that is ethonal free. My dealer is recommending me to use 89. 89 at my gas station has 10% ethonal.

dude, he isn't using 89 or 87, those are just the other choices at the pump. the dealer suggested using 89. the op was only using 93 non ethanol blend which i wish i had the choice for. is this bizzarro land or am i reading this thread wrong?

Wtf dude I know about the choices stop putting it in.. Lol okok I mis understood ...
Ok now since that's cleared if u haven't gotten a cel yet like I said it might be your ICV Wait until u get the engine light if u get the p0172 and p0175 it will be your low pressure fuel sensor... One question though is this every start up or just in the morning? By the way normal is when your rpm is at 500 700 but when it goes up to 1200 not normal might not show right away but seems like your low fuel sensor is about to go bad or the worst ICV....

Op, if you do some digging i could swear they had a software update for this issue, maybe someone will chime in with a service bulletin. your idle behavior is not normal, if its been like this over more then one tank of gas then i wouldn't be thinking bad gas. fyi, as i am sure you already know this but dont use anything less then 91 the dealer gave you terrible advice.

It can't be the gas because this has happened during other tanks . We filled up our s550 at the same gas station within 10 mins of me filling up and it never had a problem. I'm guessing it's the idle valve control. It almost stalled out on me today and still no cel. It's probably going to be a wait and see thing. Hopefully no permanent damage.

if it helps my 2008 ml350 does something similar and I think I remember hearing how it has to do with the engine needing to build up oil pressure or something :S
