not to be mean, but this thread is 9 months old... bringing it up after so long at all... especially to add (sry, accidentally typed ass... lol) so little is generally taboo (although what you said is true... i also wound up replacing the idle control valve... which didn't help either)... and will normally get many more experienced posters very upset. it's no big deal to me, but just a lil bit of a warning in the future. but just to update... i solved this problem (it turned out it was the pcv valve... a $4 or 5 part... o well). shortly after that was solved the timing gears went and the engine was pretty much destroyed. while waiting for a new engine the police towed it because it hadn't been moved in over 3 days (although i had moved it the day before, curious... but o well... what ya gonna do). the fee was $130... and it was $30 a day as well... so needless to say i couldn't afford it and it wasn't worth the money, so some scrap yard has my baby... o well. but again, i wouldn't bring up any threads older than a month or so unless you have something that could be incredibly usefull... but after 9 months just let it die. i don't mind, but again, some will. ttyl, and as many have done for me, welcome to the forums
