I have put some miles on it, idle hasn't cleared up, so I'll disconnect the battery to let the car relearn how to idle. Next up is it feels like the car is losing power for a split second (and I'll have this feeling several times throughout the entire range of RPM, in all gears, at all speeds)...

Ok, Update! So I installed my new alternator + extra wire, and turns out that it actually runs AND the weird vibrations at idle are no longer there. However, it's been replaced with a new problems (woo money pit!) namely the fact that it'll idle just weird. Almost too slow? Or too low, I'm...

I didn't even know than an engine balancer was a thing. How would I check it? My alternator should be here soon! I'm pumped. Other than that, I'm 80% sure they were done when my coils were done a few years ago.

The tremor occurs at idle. The alternator died, and I'm replacing that tomorrow. In the past, I've had issues with misfires, however I haven't checked to see if its throwing any cides recently. The car alternator died in mid December, so I'll get it up and running and report back with my...

I had issues with my car a while back, and I'm finally getting it out for the summer and was curious. My old mechanic (he was awefully shady, did some shady work) said that I was having issues with the wiring harness on my engine. I'll be honest, I'm no mechanic, however, I'll assume he is...

No Jerking. If I start off from a dead stop, and slowly ease off the clutch, When my foot is totally off the pedal I get some vibration. No jerking or shaking. Its a vibration, and it takes a second to grab. Then it finally really grabs on and Driving is normal. It is worse when I down shift.

He Installed the throwout bearing that came in the clutch kit. So...after a grand total of 500 miles, did I fry my TOB?

Hey guys, thanks for the responses, you made my day infinitely better! I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I called my mechanic earlier..he told me there's a good chance that I fried my brand new clutch. HOWEVER..I drove it home from school(~40 minutes on the highway, minimal-no...

Today, on my way up to school, I was chugging along at around 70 mph in 5th gear down US-23. Being the absent minded fool that I am, I wasn't paying attention when the sign saying my Exit was only a mile away, and so I kept chugging along in the left lane. Next thing I know, my exit is right...

Thanks for all the responses guys, sorry for not posting sooner...I pulled an all nighter and woke up a little while ago...looks like I'm off back to bed :rolleyes: At least I'll sleep better now :flag: G'night gents.

OK.....I'll be quick because I need to sleep BUT I wanna get this stuff outta my brain while its still fresh. 1) When I turn off my car it makes a hissing noise from around/under the intake manifold like there is air coming from somewhere...then it stops and thats it. (I took it to a shop...

Ok thanks, I was just checking, making sure that there isnt something I should know about that I dont. Like I said in threads prior...I'm an idiot when it comes to cars. Thanks for the help though!

I meant the alpine has the aux, because my 460 HU is bad, I wanna tear it apart and get whatever cd's are inside of it. I guess my problem is, I was worried about not being able to use my amps if I Plug the Aux cable into Alpine HU as opposed to the 6 disk changer.

Is it possible to still use the amps but use the auxillary plugs for my iPod? I'd be swapping the 460 hu for an older alpine headunit. I ask this because the back of the Alpine HU has the red and white connections and if I can save $500 by just going and getting a $10 cable, I wouldnt complain...

It was the ignition coil. I was going to go get one today or tomorrow, but on my way home from school today, the car started shaking rather violently...so I took it to the shop. Funny enough it was cylinder 7 that was causing the issue. Thanks for the help guys, even though I didnt fix it...

Dragstr...I'm wondering if you're right in regards to my car, you've described the issue with my car better then I could, Especially my 5th gear, if I try and give it gas to even maintain speed the stick shakes and it doesnt go anywhere..if anything it loses power. Also, I'm sorta new to the...

Well I took it into a shop today, and he hooked it up to the thing that reads codes, and none were given. I'm going to take it to another guy sometime this week, and hopefully he'll be able to figure out whats wrong. I think what I need to do is take a video while driving, and if I could find...

So I just turned my car off with the hood poped and there was a hiss noise from around the area of the throttle body...what does this mean in the grand scheme of my problem? Cracked intake manifold? I did a google search, and a guy had similar problems as I did in a 93 5.0 I think it was, and...

Most of my buddy's are off at school at the moment, so it looks like it'll be me and some sort of spark plug guide, and JUST out of curiosity, why did the car idle differently if I turned the injector 1/8th of a turn? When I spun it just that wee bit the first time, I went to the back of the...

Thats a fuel injector...isnt it...this isnt good...is it :nonono:.....now assuming that IS a fuel injector...its not good that they come loose, or is this something I can tighten down and be done with it?:shrug:
