Auto or m/t? When you say “idle” you mean with your foot off the gas your car starts rolling up to 2300rpm? Or when in neutral the car idle rises to 2300rpm?
Throttle body cleaner. Take it off the intake manifold. Disassemble it and clean if you need to, or else replace it. Sounds like you got some grit from your cleaning efforts into the moving parts.In any case, a really dangerous situation. Good luck!
Do you know what your coolant temps are? If it’s a really hot day my valve cover will stay hot for a couple hours. Plenty of aluminum and heatsoaking.That said my coolant temps are around 202-203 while running.
You can always get the injectors flow tested and cleaned if you want to make sure. $100 for cleaning is a lot better than $200-300 for new imho. I wouldn’t run them as-is, though. 15 years of sitting is a long time.
I know this was a couple of months ago, but I just installed mine. The only parts from the kit I used were: white plastic top ring; rubber o-ring; metal lock washer for filter bag; rubber gasket for filter bag.I got lucky and my top 19mm flare nut broke loose. I still had to loosen the lower...
A lot of long-interval oils (amsoil comes to mind) used to recommend regular filter changes in-between oil changes, because the oil might last 10,000 miles but the filter would only be good for 3-4,000 miles. Not saying it’s best practice, or what we should do with the DSM... just that it’s not...
Fast blinking is a sign that the amperage draw is lower than factory spec. This could be due to 1) bulb out somewhere; 2) wrong kind of bulb using less current than oem bulbs; or 3) loose connectionI swapped to LED bulbs and my turn signals blink fast (but not the hazards). The fix would be to...
black smoke? running rich, maybe. rev it up high and you’re dumping in more fuel than air to match. check your other hoses as well... sounds like an unmetered air issue.
Any work recently done to the car? Assuming you have enough gas, first step is to check all your vac/boost hoses under the hood and make sure nothing cracked or came loose.also check your plug wires to see if they came loose from the plugs or coilpack.
