Re: 91 ES rough idle when cold

Well, I know it NOT the head gasket cuz like u said, it's not blowing any smoke.

OVERHEATING?… after taking the distributor to advance the guy show me some white spots on the wires (Mopars, BTW) he said I should replace them and the rotary button and that the coolant temp. sensor may be bad, proving my theory correct about it running too rich. If the sensor is telling the ECU the motor is colder than it REALLY is, then when the head cracked/gasget blew before, it DID get hot, but the gauge never went above two-thirds, because the sensor is malfunctioning.

So it is this that caused the damage to my wires, sound reasonable?

I told her not to drive it until we fix it, she can't anyway without wires on it,LOL!

'course I don't have the money to fix it yet but, I just got paid! Life sucks! I work hard 40 hrs a week only to send it all to someone else's pocket. Remember…

IF THE WORLD DIDN'T SUCK, WE'D ALL FALL OFF!
