23298, Weird idling!!!!!!!
Posted by RoboTechDSM, May-28-02 12:33 PM
Well, this past few days, I've been getting some weird idling from my car. About 90% of the time, it would idle at 600 close to 500 RPM, like it is about to die. I feel the engine shake a bit when this happens. When I pulled over to check out my FP, it was sitting around 50 psi. Me and Fast420A (Kyle), did a compression test today, all of them were over 200 (can't remember the exact numbers). We also checked the plugs, and it looked like it is getting a clean burn. I gapped them at .035, as stated in the HRC manual. I changed them like a week before the install. We too changed the fuel filter during the install. Dunno, maybe it's all this HOT ASS FUCK Florida weather. Help, thanks!!!!!

Change your wires. And then maybe try someone elses ignition coil to see if its that.

Well, I have the same plug wires ever since I got the car (when she had 16K). Now she has 57K. I'm probably gonna buy some cheapo ones, until I can get enuff money for some magnecores. Thanks!!!!
