lifter tick? can it get superbad.?
wheel makes a noise, not sure if it a wheel bearing or stuck calipers, the front rotors get super hot?

and do how do i tinker with the maf translator to make my rev drop to idle position? at a stop light it takes a while to drop from 1500 to idle which is set to a 1000.
what could be wrong with my tranny its so hard to get into gears sometimes< i wanna drive it not baby it ya know>?
 
The syncros are most likely worn in your transmission. So, replace the tranny fluid with Red Line fluid. Red Line is a manufacturer. I had troubles with my tranny until I changed the fluid to Red Line. Also, Lifter tick can get really loud. Mine did until I finally changed to the 3mm hole lifters. Remember, you can change them without pulling the head or even the camshafts.
 
and jack up the front one side at a time and if the wheel wobbles when the wheel is straight with steering wheel locked then yeah you need wheel bearings.
 
Sounds like your brake caliper is sticking. To check, try going forward about 5 MPH and then let the car coast. If it stops really quick, your have your answer. If they're not sticking you'll just coast to a gradual stop.
 
i agree with SrKegler for the hot rotors, sounds like they are hanging up on ya, do as SrKegler said, if that is what you are getting then pull them apart and grease the slide's and/or clean the hardware as well:)
 
Do you have a chip or some other change in programming to tell the ECU the idle should be 1k? The MAFT doesn't really have anything to do with idle speed and unless you reprogram the ECU the idle speed has to be 750RPMs or your messing up the ISC functioning.
 
By any chance do you have a check engine light on? If you do, check the codes. Bad o2 sensors, and coolant temp sensors can cause that. Also check your BISS screw.
 
no chip.. ive looked around now for a little bit and cant pull up nothing on timing retard. Can lifter tick cause a knock reading pulling timing?
oh and i redid my slave because it was toasted, and come to find out some of the bolts around the tranny were loose.. need to reset my clutch pedal back, its fully open when u step down did that to help open the plate till i got a new slave.
and no, no engine light, unless its disconnected. Which i need to find out why theres no oil pressure on the dash. think sending unit is bad, or not plug up..?
and IDK why but my pcv leaks at the vlave cover? whats that mean?
