KRH20 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 so I'm hoping this is minor or a problem that can be uncovered and fixed at a low cost.... It's about 25-35 degrees in the mornings, I go out and warm the car up it gives me the high idle (3000 rpms) and cut off routine the first 5 minutes if I dont stay on the gas. I do notice that on the ground under the front passenger side, like under the radiator hose or something, there's a leak. But, its neither constant nor excessive. Another thing is that the "Service Engine soon" light comes on after I let the car warm/ idle for 6 minutes or so, but once in drive i dont see it til the next morning...any ideas what it may be? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Sounds like bad intake manifold gasket. If you haven't changed them recently, then it's about time. Verify this by spraying some carb cleaner at the gasket. If the car responds to it with a change in RPM, the gaskets are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I don't remember it costing any more than $20, but I really can't remember. I could probably look it up after I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
