Well the emissions and inspection is done, it is running well (not perfect yet) gonna have to drive it around for a while and make sure no CEL's or other problems arise. I started doing a write up on it but it's gonna take me a while to finish it. I'll keep ya posted.

 

Cant wait for the write up. So I guess it passed?

 

It passed bc PA doesn't do tailpipe emmissions, and bc I'm good friends w/ the mechanic. Yeah so driving it home... yeah still got problems... couple CEL's, no throttle response at times, will idle at 2.5k for no reason then drop back down when I step on the gas a bit...

Regardless to say I'm frustrated... I feel defeated... I may try tomorrow to work on it some more.

Checked all the engine codes, nothing too big, should have it running tomorrow without problems.

 

cool glad you got it to pass good luck

 

you checked yoru gaskets already for the high idle problem didnt you?

 

Gaskets are definately not the problem, the code I read that I believe was causing that problem was a PCV leak.

 

aw damn man pcv valves are cake to clean or replace

 

I don't even think I'm gonna have to replace it or clean it, I think it's the hose going to the IM from the PCV, it's not clamped on the PCV side so I"m gonna try that and see what happens.

 

Ok so it seems like I've got the high rpms nice, but I"m still having trouble below 3500-4k, sounds like it's misfiring, it could possibly be timing, I may have knocked that off a tad when I attempted to replace the pulleys on my own...

Gonna go and mess w/ it a bit more then take it for a drive and see what happens...

 

mine missfires/has little throttle response at times, but that cause it neds new plugs, wires, rotor...etc. and a good oil change!!! but that and anyother prob. will be taken care of, seeing as im grouinded from my car till 4th of july!!! got my # 8 ticket a few days back, 4th for speeding...so... good luck with your car, hope you figure your problems out!!!
