Krytios Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Okay. Changed plugs, got brand new 1000 CA Optima red top, Wiggled the key and got the radio and wipers etc to come back on. Still not getting charge from the alt so I'm pulling it here in a few minutes. Also, Idles like crazy and when I do anything but floor it, it still makes a thumping sound and bogs on me. Sounds like a metal part of the body popping out as if it was dented. Disturbs me. Also, when I punch it sometimes, I hear a high pitched BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP then it goes away. Does it once or twice. And I also think I have the tick of death, so oil change and MMO is in direct order, probably tonight. To the guy that has a ignition sw/key, yes, i would like it, just PM me with info on what to do as far as cost/shipping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 More than one problem,me thinks. Plugged exhaust might be one of them.lol Put a vacuum gauge on the intake and see what happens w/you hold the revs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytios Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 what would solve my plugged exhaust problem? I actually just broke open the muffler and the remains of a bird were inside. I hope Soobie didn't suck anything into the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The idle problem could be 2 things. The IAC or the temp sensor. The IAC is a silver cylinder thats hooked up to the intake inlet hose and manifold. This can be cleaned, but has to be removed and disassembled. The temp sensor is real close to the thermostat housing and gets corroded easily. The wires also have a tendency to harden up and get brittle. Most of us have cut the wires back and made a new connection to the sensor.
