#74849, "Idle sticking..gas smell, oil smell, coolant smell..wtf??"


          

Well i drove the car the farthest its been in two months today, and i got some good readings on the car as to when it acts up, what it does etc. NOW, under granny style driving techniques the car runs fine, i can accelerate however so slowly it may be, but the car goes with minimal hesitation. Also, after the car is running for a while, the idle will sparadically stick at 2k rpms and will not come down, and this is also associated with the hesitation at its worst. When the idle sticks, the car hesitates, i can smell gas, i smell oil burning and i also get a whiff of coolant burning off. After parking the car i checked the motor, no hoses are leaking, i dont see any oil leaking, and all sensors look fine. This also correlates with my morning/afternoon/nightly start up issues. If the car sits for an hour without being started, the first few tries result in an idle that sounds like its going to suck a gerbil up and poop him out. Does this sound like an iac/tps problem, or maybe an o2 sensor, or maybe the fpr? Whats going on here?

Ever check your coolant temp sensor? If you can find a datalogger, see what it says..what exactly did you to the the motor again?

Well, i checked all fluids today after my coolant light came on, im low on oil and my coolant reservior was completely empty..my car is eating fluids! What is going on here? I checked all surfaces and felt around the rear of the block and i dont see a leak ANYWHERE, all coolant lines are great and no oil anywhere. I havent seen any smoke coming from the tailpipe but that doesnt mean its not there. Any help?
