Guest Anonymous Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Im looking to get the 95 GT in top selling condition, and I have one issue to iron out.. On cold starts and cold starts ONLY: When i start it up, it will idle at like 2k RPM's, and then drop out, stutter, sometimes stall.. but as soon as i drop it into drive, it runs beautifully... any ideas on what this is?

90TGP Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Maybe a throttle position sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 when were intake gaskets done last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Is it something that should have been done during the timing belt replace? The guy I got my GTP from said they had the intake gaskets done when the belts were done, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 it would make sense that they would do them then, but who knows with some shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman87 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 OMG i know exactly your problem being a 95 owner. the reason it dosnt die in drive is b/c the motor requires more gas to turn the tranny. the lower intake gaskets are leaking. not much but enough to let ya know it is. i went threw this last year. Its normal for it to idle high when cold until warmed but for it to die its that intake leak. if you are anywhere near me i could have them replaced in 30 mins. else If you want i couldmake a 95 specific intake removal writeup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 think its anything serious? once i put it in drive nothing is wrong, and if it starts warm, its fine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 think its anything serious? once i put it in drive nothing is wrong, and if it starts warm, its fine as well. It's fine to drive it but I would get new intake gaskets instead of letting a problem go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 not replaceing them will only lead to bigger problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 whats the avg. price on gettiong them done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Why not just replace them yourself. It's cake work, and should only take 3 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yep, lower intake manifold gaskets. Affects every 90's GM engine built before 10/16/98 that uses the combination rubber/plastic intake manifold gaskets. I don't know what happened after 10/16/98, but for some reason, those aren't affected. I had to fix the problem on my 94, and now my 99 Silverado has it.

White93z34 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 intake gaskets should run $20-$30 from any parts store. and since we all know ross won't fix it himself just add $100 to that price and thats probably a good estimate of what it would cost.

If your good you can do it yourself in less then 2 hours from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
