    Car runs like garbage,.....

    Naw, haven't checked the oil lately, I'll check it tomorrow when I wake up. Been little busy, I have time to mess with it now over the weekend. My exhaust doesn't have any smoke comming out of it at all, at least not yet anyway. Yeah, haven't seen you in quite a while either, it has been a...

    Car runs like garbage,.....

    Yeah, the reservoir was about 1/4 of the way full, maybe a tad bit less than that. Well, I just went to go put coolant in the car before I headed to school. After I put more coolant in and the fluid reached closer to the top of the reservoir, I got a much better look at the coolant. Looks...

    Car runs like garbage,.....

    I was hoping that somebody here could at least point me in the right direction. I drove my car this morning to the doctors and noticed that it was running extremely sluggish. Starting in first gear, the car takes off extremely slow until I reach around 2k rpms, then when I shift into each...

    Transmission/shifter vibration at low rpms

    Yeah, I found the problem, the misfire came back so I swapped out the coil pack. I just found it odd how my whole tranny was shaking from the coil pack being bad. Ah well, at least I found what was causing my problems. Thanks for your help though jgt

    Transmission/shifter vibration at low rpms

    I have a 95 mustang with all stock parts other than a cold air intake. I have some problems with the trans/shifter vibrating at low rpms. When I take off in 1st gear the transmission shakes alot up until i get to about 1500 rpms or so. Same when i am in 2 - 4 gears as well. When I shift into...

    Very High Idle Problem

    Just went to Napa and bought a new IAC for $120. Apparently the one that I bought from Autozone was a piece of crap because I put the new one from Napa on my Mustang and the high idle(3krpm) dissapeared! It now idles beautifully at 600 rpm. Now, is it supposed to be at 600 rpm or a little...

    Very High Idle Problem

    The OBDII scanner that I was using was a rental from Murrays auto. It was an Actron scanner. No, it doesn't have an option to read RPM. My RPM on my dash reads fine though. Alright. So I already replaced the IAC with one from Autozone. I guess I will try to replace it with one from NAPA...

    Very High Idle Problem

    I just disconnected the TPS while the car was running and had no change in idle speed. I connected the TPS back up and disconnected the MAF and the car stalled out. I just got off of the phone with my friends dad and he mentioned that since I did have a error code for the camshaft position...

    Very High Idle Problem

    I believe I read on here somewhere that if you take off the IAC and cover the air ports on the intake so no air gets in/out that your car should idle fine. Is that true? I took off my IAC, blocked the two air ports off using duct tape. Started the car and it doesn't even want to start. I...

    Very High Idle Problem

    Oh yeah, just to add. I have checked pretty much everything on the "Surging Idle Checklist" except for checking the grounds and voltage on the O2 sensors. I have never touched the idle stop screw, but since I have owned the car it has been backed all the way out. If I tighten the screw so it...

    Very High Idle Problem

    I have a vacuum gauge, I just had to get batteries for it. I checked the vacuum at the vacuum tree on the drivers side. I got aprox. 21 in Hg of vacuum right there. Is there other spots that I should check my vacuum at? I replaced pretty much every vacuum hose. The vacuum going into the...

    Missing vacuum line?.............

    Yep, for the most part. I have never taken apart a whole engine and rebuilt it back up before. Pretty much anything other than that I should be able to do on my own.

    Missing vacuum line?.............

    Sorry about how hard it is to see the photos. They were taken with my cellphone. - The check engine light is not on. - Scanned the codes anyway with the OBDII scan tool and found no codes. - If there are vents on top of the charcoal canister, these hoses may be leading to the vents and...

    Missing vacuum line?.............

    I have been having a high idle problem for some time now. I just brought my car over to a friends house where I can work on the car. I pulled off the liner inside the passenger fender to get to the charcoal canister and check the vacuum lines. I followed one of the hoses comming from the...

    Very High Idle Problem

    Just tried using some motor oil to try and find a vacuum leak. Some ended up dripping down to the exhaust manifold and since it was extremely hot with my engine reving at aprox. 3k rpm, a small flash fire happened. I thought that motor oil wasn't supposed to cause flash fires. I don't really...

    Very High Idle Problem

    How do I check the engine vacuum pressure? Is there a specific test point to do so?

    Very High Idle Problem

    You mean the idle air control valve? I got a new one from autozone and it didn't change a thing. I read on a different thread on this forum that a guy was having similar problems as I and got one from autozone that was crap. Then he got a ford motorsports one and that solved his problem. How...

    Very High Idle Problem

    No, I did not try a new TPS, not yet at least. From reading the forums, it seems to me that my idle tps voltage(.776 volts) is fine. Since I'm gettting a good voltage reading at idle from my TPS, doesn't that rule out the TPS being the cause of my high idle?
