What do you idle at when your car is in park or neutral?

nemisis · Postby **nemisis** » September 24th, 2015, 7:54 pm

I'm normally at 800rpm
And when I put it in reverse with the ac on and it fluctuating a lot

Iacv needs servicing, in fact the whole intake manifold needs proper cleaning.

Had that problem years ago, driving with ac normal as soon as I stop for traffic it starts hunting so bad it used to idle low and vibrate the entire car or even cut off.

Wasn't this caused by dirty injectors when carbon from the EGR built up on them?

Why would a dirty manifold do this? I could understand the Idle air valve...... lol

So it's no easy fix and you will have to remove the manifold to get at the injectors because you will have to manually clean each one.

When putting it back together blank of the EGR port to prevent this headache for coming back.

Injectors surprisingly were clear, under the manifold where the ego valves were in a mess

who did it for yall and do you have a contact number for him???

Lol did it myself, most mechs will make you change a set of parts needlessly. And all didn't want to take on that amount of work, their idea of tb/intake manifold cleaning is spraying some cleaner.

Even after a mech used two tins of gunk and one tin of bars when I took the manifold down I was scraping off build up with a large flat head screwdriver.

Lol well know any mech south or north who can service the iacv??? Want to sort it out quick it's highly annoying

I don't think they work. I bought one from Amazon. And I installed torque pro. It's picking up the Bluetooth device but it keeps trying to find the correct protocol to access data from the cars ecu. It just keeps cycling them.

I'm not sure if the car is obd2. I read that even doh a car may have the standard obd2 port it may not be obd2 compliant.

Need some help urgently fellas.....looking for the back arms for my sharkmouth (it's 3 different arms the mechanic pulled down). Anyone knows where I can get them? The mechanic said he checked a few places in El Socorro but no luck. Hoping I could get these today.

Thanks bro, but they didn't have...... I guess I'll check around the bamboo today and see

What's wrong with the arms? The bushing only, or is the ball joint bad also? If just bushing you can look into getting them rebuilt, not sure if the ball joints in the rear can be changed or if they built into the arm like the front.

The balljoint bad on the bent arms too, and the straight arms the bushing bad.....but I doh really have all that time to get them rebuilt.....I changing out all the arms, and I wud take the old arms and get the rebuilt and rest dem down. I ain't really watch them too good to see if the balljoint built in nah.

I check everywhere in the bamboo but only get some. Still need a pair of the small arms with the small bushing and 1 of the bent arms

If you poly the bushings they dont last because of thier size. They grt brittle and worn out im a fee months. Im looking for a set of arms my self. The are becoming reidculouly hard to find.

Some say that galant parts are getting harder to find because russians are fighting trinis in japan and sending all the galant parts to the motherland.

The rear arms were hard to get......I got three in the bamboo (two straight arms with the big bushing and the left side bent arm). I think I checked everywhere in the bamboo that had suspension parts for the other three I needed. In the end I got the bushings for the straight arms with the small bushing and the bushing and balljoint for the right side bent arm at Jurawan's in diego and they pressed them there as well.
