Regal_GS_1989 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Has anyone suggested an Idle Relearn? My LQ1 Cutlass was the only W i've ever had to do an Idle relearn on cause it was idling high. Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Has anyone suggested an Idle Relearn? My LQ1 Cutlass was the only W i've ever had to do an Idle relearn on cause it was idling high. Not as of yet, but I was going to suggest that he try since it's so simple. EDIT: Here's the FAQ link for idle relearn procedure http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=31176.0 Quote

spiderw31 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 $250? Man, do it yourself... the LIM is pretty easy on an LQ1, and your looking at $20 for felpro gaskets + an hour or so of your time. Quote

Im a fly by night mechanic theres only so much i can do!!!! plus it was already at the garage being worked on Quote
spiderw31 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 If you had a 3.1, I'd agree with you, as it a much more complicated job. On the 3.4, it is MUCH easier, but hey, whats done is done. Just don't be afraid of it next time Quote

LuminaPower92 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 I love the LIM gaskets on the 3.4. SO simple to do its unbelieveable. I have to do the ones on the wifes Euro 3.1 soon though. Its got some seepage. On those you have to remove a couple pushrods, right? Quote
Captain Ficho Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 I have absolutely no maintenance records for my car but it's getting close to 120,000 miles and I have a feeling that it hasn't been done yet... should I get around to it soon? If it is that easy of a job maybe I'll do it myself as preventative maintenance. Quote

If it is that easy of a job maybe I'll do it myself as preventative maintenance. it;'s it's not a 3100/3400 sfi, and it isn't giving you any trouble... i'd probably leave it alone. Quote
5speedz34 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 I don't know why everyone says the LIM is so easy. Between the heater hose and the stupid coupler that breaks on the intake manifold for $250 I'll pay a shop to do it. Quote
White93z34 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 Honestly the Intake gaskets are insanely easy on a 3.4. Zack. I can't say I feel all that sorry for you on the matter, I have told you countless times that I am MORE then willing to help you out with that car. That job should cost no more then $50 in parts at MOST. Hell If you woulda covered my gas and parts I'd of done it for you no problem. And I don't live that far from you. Quote
GP1138 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 I don't know why everyone says the LIM is so easy. Between the heater hose and the stupid coupler that breaks on the intake manifold for $250 I'll pay a shop to do it. It's not that hard to pull the plenum after you've done it a few times. It's just a bitch to get my pliers down there to get that heater hose off. Plus, I always forget to put it back on when I finish and end up with coolant everywhere. Quote
