slick Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Great thread title and descriptive post! Quote
carkhz316 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 HEET, isopropyl, and the such doesn't really do as much as it once did back in the day, especially with all the ethanol already present in gas. Just saying. Quote
Jonpro03 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 What kind of motor? Typically, an idle problem is a vacuum leak or a broken IAC valve. Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) 3400. it drove and started fine all day then it happened. hmmm, i hope the iac is easier to change than the thermostat. title edit a little better? Edited February 2, 2011 by Crimson Fury Z Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 thanks for the replies, but after reviewing iac symptoms, it was not that. i got it to auto zone and dropped a bottle of prestone fuel system cleaner and the s.o.b decided to run on it's own again. Quote
