    Idle Hang Revisited

    Hey, I'm back with the same problem. '97 GTS that has "Idle Hang" the condition wherein the car spontaneously makes up its mind to idle at 1500 RPM for a while defying all attempts to bring the idle down then after 5-20 minutes it spontaneously drops back down to a normal idle of around 660 RPM...

    Viper "fun to drive" factor relative to other cars

    Re: Viper \"fun to drive\" factor relative to other cars Viper = fun to drive. Cobra Kit Car = fun to drive big block muscle car = fun to drive The lighter the car, the greater the horsepower, the coarser the feel to it. and the less "gadgets" on the car are, in my opinion, factors that raise...

    Idle Hang

    Has anyone come up with a solution for this? My '97 GTS still intermittently idles between 1200 and 1500 rpm. Still no answers. Have changed the battery, idle speed control motor, intake manifold gaskets, spark pugs and wires, PCV tubing and valve, and adjusted the throttle valve on the...

    Solutions.......

    ........hopefully tonight. About to take my car to Mom's this weekend and I pull it out of the garage and there is oil on the floor. Look around the car and find that about 1 drop per ten seconds, at idle, is coming from the sender unit for the oil pressure idiot light.(It has been...

    Half Shafts

    Something's gotta break. If you use stronger halfshafts you are more apt to break a more expensive and harder to remove/install part somewhere else in the drivetrain. I know in my Humvee the halfshafts are designed to break before anything else does.

    Idiot Light

    My '97 GTS, the car that couldn't do anything right, now has added another layer to its mysterious shenanigans. As I've posted before it has that annoying fast idle that I've been unable to track down. A few weeks ago the idiot light for the oil pressure came on. The pressure gauge showed normal...

    That dirty rotten son of a............

    ..........K car. What is it with this car? Now I've established that the throttle bodies are fine. They have a little side to side play but that did not effect the high idle. Turned the set screws on the throttle body stops back a bit. That helped for thirty minutes. Then the car fell back...

    Do NOT use Bosch +4 plugs

    I'm using those four prong plugs. Honestly I've noticed no difference. Probably just a waste o' cash. My car runs equally bad with or without them.

    Needing a couple of answers

    I just replaced the two intake manifold gaskets on my '97 GTS. There was a big improvent. The car idles at its normal RPM more often (about 80% of the time) and when it does the fast idle thing it only does it at about 1100 RPM instead of the previous 1250-1500 rpm. (Which it was doing about...

    Oil Intake Manifold

    Hey I'm changing my intake manifold gaskets this am. The manifold is off and everyone of the runners has a oil comimg out of them. About a teaspoonful per runner. Not much. Is this normal? The car sees quite a bit of city driving. Intake manifold vacuum before teardown was 11 psi. Car ran fine...

    Stock Air Tube Has Greater Volumn Than Smooth Tube

    I think other issues come to play. 1. Resistantance through any tube is inverseley proportional to the radius raised to the fourth power. I'm not an Engineer but I suspect that each of the smaller radiuses theoretically would impede airflow. 2. Though the areas of decreased diameter are...
