wierd idle
my car idles wierd while cold... goes from 1500 to 2000 ish . while warm it idles like normal 850 ish.. im thinking its the iac acting up.. got a new one already. its 1 month used. on the other engine i blew up. just gotta take the time and replace it tomarrow night.
i cleaned the passages before i installed the engine in my car. or it could be a slight vacuum leak. hah . been cold /rainy here not easy to realy troubleshoot out side.
ill have the car up on a lift friday to figure out this damn vss error im getting. im thinking its just loose connection since the trans was out for a while and i gotta check the trans fluid level.
also need to check starter bolts. starter not always engageing.. new starter about 5 months old. might have to reshim.
