Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Low Idle Very Rough

[quote=jondaboll]I read in a search that to train the TPC put chalks in front of the tires start car Put it in drive apply parking brake, and let the car idle for 30 minutes. When that is done turn car off and let cool, and do the same thing for ten minutes. Anyone hears of that, I will try anyway. This car is blowng some serious dark smoke, I thnk I should tackle theEGR and clean it[/QUOTE

YES! THE CAR RUNS BETTER THAN IT DID 15 YEARS AGO(Almost)The solution was a combo of things. Most of all I think it was cleaning the throttle body and EGR valve. Throttle bdy and the EGR was like black tar. I ran the car all day and it seems as if the TPS has trained itself also. So to wrap this up we,Changed plugs, O2 sensor, TPS, IAC, AIr filter, PCV, Cleaned throttle body and EGR(Made sure the diaphram in the EGR was moving freely) cleaned passages from egr to throttle body . Cleaned MAF with electronics spray and very carefully. Thats it! She runs great. Thank you so much GTP DAD.....
