You still having driveability issues with your car?

[Zapper2003]

Fuck i dont even hardly dare to back it out of the garage. It sits in the yard right now cuz its a hunk of dogshit as far as I'm concerned. I dont know what the fuck is wrong with it.

[cammed goat]

Still havin the funky idle?

[Zapper2003]

still idling between 1600-2000rpms. once it builds heat in the motor it starts idling bad and once i shut it off or it stalls, it wont restart. I'm thinking ICM due to heat from the head transferring into it.

[Zapper2003]

[Zapper2003]

Did you replace the IAC yet?

[Zapper2003]

I did not replace that, no. Cleaned it once and that was it.

[Zapper2003]

70-80 for IAC valve, 70-80 for the ICM, 70-80 for a coil. Fuck. and thats just a few more pieces to the puzzle. I need to know what the hell these sensors are reading. My code scanner showed "IGN Advance DE 45.0" and that figure is always changing (not fast but always changing)

[cammed goat]

Replace the IAC, then drive the car to relearn the IAC. If that doesn't work, then hit up eBay for another PCM and try that.

The problem with 'drive the car' is the way it runs. If it quits i'm fucked, i'll be along the side of the road til it cools down to get it restarted.


Plus i think i got an air bubble in the cooling system. She gets pretty hot.

Now I am wondering if your temp sensor is out?

FML.... I went and got rustoleum undercoat to fix the scratches on my SFC's that were self inflicted when i hit a manhole cover.... well I got the springs all in went to get an alignment and now the car is so low they couldn't get it on the Hunter DSP 600 machine without tearing up my SFC's... only paint damage but i'm counting my blessings... those SFC's not only stiffen my chassis but act as a sacrificial barrier to the world.... they protect my chassis!!! Let's hear it for SFC'S!!!!!! sigh....

Yep. SFCs will protect your undercarriage, but they get scratched to hell. Did the guys at the shop even try to use wood planks to get the Hawk on the lift? I would have tried that.

and iac will make a car want to stall out. you have to keep your foot feathering the gas to keep it running. it WONT make an engine missfire and run rough. my suggestion to zapper is to start actually testing components via pinpoint tests out of a service manual and to stop throwing parts at it. thats why its getting expensive.

Toot toot!!!!
