'82 Sedan DeVille ?'s
whats up ppl I just bought a '82 deville. its been sitting for 2 years but otherwise its in great condition. i have been going thru and changing out some parts- cap and rotor needed replacement, gas pump went, thermo stuck, i guess its just because it sat for so long. but right now i have a prob that i cant diagnose, i think its something electrical but not sure- when it idles it almost stalls then jumps rpms, and inside the car the gas/mileage gauge reads some crazy numbers and skips around from average mileage to the other 2 readings(cant remember what they are), and the check engine light flashes. when i bought the car a rodent had gotten inside, there was acorns and droppings in the glove box and trunk, could it have chewed wires or something?? or is this a different prob?? timing?? also, i have what seems to sound like a vacuum leak inside the car under the dash when the car is in gear, and the parking brake wont let loose by itself. is there a vacuum line aroud there somewhere that i need to change?? also, when i hooked up my cd player, i used a wire harness and when i turn the car on it gets power, the antenna goes up, but when the seatbelt light turns off the cd player turns off and the power antenna goes back down-wtf?? so i just ran some wires from the fuse box, but maybe this has something to do with it??
