having a problem with the idling

94talon09 · Apr 27, 2009

i have a 1.8 94 eclipse and I'm having a problem with the idling on the car one min it wants to idle up to 2 to2 1/2 and then next time you stop it wants to die on you i have notice if you put your hand on top of the intake and barely press down on it the rpms will drop and if you raise up on it it will go up could this be a blown intake gasket or what?

sounds like the intake is loose, are the bolts tight could be snugged down and not tight.

i havent check yet it just started to night on the way home was going to check them in the morning

If you are fortunate, it's only loose. If you're like me, you will likely have to replace the intake gasket.

Good Luck

Good luck finding a performance intake. You drive a PONTIAC and are suggesting performance parts for a 4G37. That makes me Laugh :tease:

Hey now! my talon is the car I can't keep running

.

and as the old Hot Rodding proverb goes: "If you can't buy it, Build it"

Sorry for threadjack.

Glad you fixed your intake problem 94Talon.

As for an Alternator I'm not sure what the largest you could fit in the alternators location. What are you planning that you need a high output Alt?
