Re: questions need answered asap
You might have knocked something loose - loose plug wires would cause arching and make the rpms jump all over. If that's the case, the crazy oil pressure might just be from the engine rpm fluctuating. I wouldn't worry to much about the charging system, 13v is plenty.

Follow the instructions on how to obtain and read the error codes in a Fiero. High idle means EGR, vacuum leak, or sensor problem |

Re: questions need answered asap
if it's loose and vibrating, yea, you bet. At least the weird idle. The oil pressure is something else... maybe a bad gauge sending unit.

Re: questions need answered asap
well the problem is a vacuum leak which sucks becasue they took off the plenum and found it....the pipe is broken plus i think the seals too...well they told me about how much it will cost plus the seals and shit will take a day but the pipe that is broken is discontinued so they are going to try and weld it together....so i hopw to see my car by wednesday maybe shit they have had it over a week.....i just hope that pipe does not break...cuz i am wondering how long it will stay togerther if they can weld it.....

Re: questions need answered asap
Don't you hate those sneaky vacuum leaks?
Rather then them welding the pipe, try getting a used one from Kick Hill

Re: questions need answered asap
As long as they don't tig weld the damn thing to the intake lol
If it were the EGR tube I can't see how it would be discontinued, being a required emissions part you couldn't (in theroy) pass a smog test without. Probably the vacuum port for the power brakes or something.
