18074, I got boost!! But is low idleing normal for like the first 2 mins?
Posted by YelloEcipse97, Mar-19-02 03:01 PM
finally found why it wouldnt crank, the damn fuse to the engine. It cranks good have a minor boost leak here or there. Gotta get some bolts for that manifold. But my problem is stuttering in the beginning when i first fire it up , it idles a little under 1k and drops to half . Is this normal what could the problem be. Could it be spark plugs losing there spark? Please help, I feel the reliability issue with my car is fading,I drive 80 miles a day for work, so i need something that runs good, thanx

i start mines, and it idles at about 1k til shes warm, then down to half, or about 500-800rpms....

your stutturin may be caused by the gap in your plugs.

i believe u wanna run ngk bkr7e11 at a gap of about 0.030

good luck, and u waitin for a flood??
