Poor startup and idle rpm drop before returning to normal

Postby DaddysBelt » Mon Jul 29, 2019 8:57 pm

Hi there,
so recently we've been having issues with our 1.6L 16V 115hp K4M Megane 2 2004,
it has been starting poorly, almost as if the battery is dying. Had that replaced but it's still having the same issue. Not only that, but it has also developed a new issue where once I start the car, it idles normally but then after I push on the gas and let off the RPM will drop way down till the engine almost cuts out, then it returns to normal revs... Any ideas? The car has NOT failed to start.

On a separate issue, it also occasionally lets out a screeching noise when starting the engine. I'm assuming it's one of the belts slipping. The noise appears seemingly at random once every few starts.

Ty for your help!
