check if the bulb is there, its probably throwing a code and the person pulled teh bulb.

 

have to pull the cluster?

could it have to do with timing? i noticed the belt on ther is loose and is pretty worn down. needs to be replaced ASAP

 

found out the car is using a skunk2 chipped p28. also it has a wlabro fuel pump.

 

The issue could be the timing belt off a tooth, the issue could be the ecu.

 

^I highly doubt its off a tooth, otherwise it would be running like shit hot/cold

 

very true, my teg and was off a tooth and it was fucked up no matter warm or cold. this car drives perfect once it is warmed up.

i was hoping it would be something simple like a idle control valve

 

talked with Dr. Neal and he believes its the crappy skunk2 chip. he is coming wednesday to put a crome program on it for me. also he is doing a new timing belt as well. Neal is the man !!

 

Yeah, I would go ahead and let Neal do his thing... Prolly wouldnt hurt to replace the IACV also... Sounds to me like that could be part of it... Mine did that when the IACV was bad....

 

thats what i was thinking also but neal says the skunk2 program runs very rich. i can smell the fuel when im trying to start the car. i just spoke to the guys who had the car before the guy i got it from and when he had the skunk2 program, the car started fine.

 

got the IACV off today and it was nasty. couldnt even see the screen it was covered in so much gunk. sprayed it down with some brake cleaner and the car started right up. it is still idleing a little low but no more jumpy idle. its a smooth idle, just low. maybe it needs to be cleaned a little more. Neal will be checking it over tomorrow and doing some work on it. also put a quick crome flash on it for me
