    Help! Idle drops low when stopped, occasionally dies.

    Hey Guys, I am back with an update :) Ok, so after playing around quite a bit, I might have taken care of this issue (for the time being.) So I opened up the battery compartment and replaced the battery. After putting in the new battery, one of the ties was a little loose but I left it in there...

    Help! Idle drops low when stopped, occasionally dies.

    Hi Guys, Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply. Let me see if I can shed some more light on the situation. I have cleaned the throttle bodies a few times since the issue started. I cleaned them last night as well as adjusted the bolt to make sure that the drivers side throttle body opens...

    Help! Idle drops low when stopped, occasionally dies.

    Hey Guys, I have an issue that I have been having with my car for years now and I need to get it fixed. I have taken it to many shops here in town as well as taken it to Ken (viper tech in Portland, Oregon) and no luck. I have spent thousands of dollars on this issue and NO ONE can fix it, and...

    More issues. Need some help.

    Car is RUNNING now - with no codes. Still having the power/sound issues but I think this might be because of the passenger side O2 sensor, which I must have fried. There were some nicks in the O2 wires and the heat shrink that I put over it must have been what melted since the wires were all...

    More issues. Need some help.

    Yet another update** Narrowed it down to the upstream O2 sensors - just like Cayford thought (wires near the headers). Unplugged both sensors and no more blowing fuses. Keep you guys updated as we get further into what is going on.

    More issues. Need some help.

    Another update** 2 of the fuses were blown - PCM and ASD. Replaced both, go to try and start it and the PCM fuse blows again, immediately. Short in the line somewhere? @Cayford - I am going to jack the car up and check. That fuse blowing scares me.

    More issues. Need some help.

    Ok, we just pulled a plug wire and no spark. The other strange thing is that when they key is turned all the way, the fan comes on. This isn't normal right? I could swear the fan only came on when either the AC is turned on or when the car is up to temp.

    More issues. Need some help.

    Hey Asp, I do have a service manual. At this point, I can't live without it :) I forgot to mention the biggest thing, which is that the car only has 17k miles. I just really want to get my car started so I can take it to a shop. Towing always weirds me out because of the damage that can happen...

    More issues. Need some help.

    Hey Guys, My '98 GTS now won't start, so I need help pretty bad. Let me try to explain the issues I am having right now. - Was getting an Idle hang when the car was hot so I replaced my 02 sensors and got sensor extenders because of the aftermarket headers -- Did not fix the idle hang at all...

    Some idiot tailgaiting me

    This happens to me quite often here in Bend. Civic, Subarus, SUVs, etc. Every once and a while, I will push it to get away but since my car is so loud, I am afraid of getting pulled over. What gives?? :dunno: There was one time a friend was screwing with me in his hooked up Evo MR. I punched...

    Window Auto Function?

    Oh and that guy who reviewed it is a complete idiot. The units work very well and depending on the application, there is a wire that you need to cut in order for it to work. It tells you on the install instructions. The first one that we put in did the same thing. Then we read the instructions...

    Window Auto Function?

    Hey NorthernSnake, You can get these for your car. I haven't put them in the Viper although I had an S2000 that I put them in for not only both windows, but the top as well. It is a "one touch" unit from Autoloc that intercepts the signal and powers the window either up or down with just the...

    Viper GTS everyday driver?

    Welcome! I am on my second Viper and used to daily drive both of them. The main issue that stops me from daily driving my current Viper is it snows here in Bend. That I will tell you that you DO NOT WANT TO DO. :) When I was living in the Bay Area, my RT was a daily driver. Only had one car at...

    Need some advice (short this time, I promise)

    Next time, I will order the ones that taste bad for dogs.

    Need some advice (short this time, I promise)

    Yeah, these are the next day air wires. Damn dog! Anyway, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Maybe just tape it since heat shrink would require me to cut them and I don't want to do that. There is only one wire with the steel showing although she seemed to really like the heat wrap around all...

    Need help with heat/throttle issue - LONG

    Hahaha.. I like to waste money. No, I just really want to drive it and the weather here has been so nice. Did you see my latest post? Since the O2 sensors were too short, I had one on my coffee table and one in the garage. I came home tonight to my dog chewing on the one that was placed on the...

    Need some advice (short this time, I promise)

    So I came home today to my little dog chewing on my o2 wires. I had them on the table and she must have jumped up and grabbed them. Anyway, none of the wires are broken but there is some of the wire coating that has been opened, exposing the steel wires inside (barely, but you can see them). Fix...

    Need help with heat/throttle issue - LONG

    Mine came modded from SVS as well. Well, I decided to go the expensive route and purchased new O2's from DC performance and O2 extensions from American Racing Headers. The only reason I purchased the extensions is because the longer wire O2's from DC were still too short. After next day from DC...

    Need help with heat/throttle issue - LONG

    I have a call into DC Performance. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. After I get the new O2's in, I will see what we can do with the heat issue. You know, I took it into a place here in town to get the coolant replaced last summer and they said that the thermostat was opening fine. The...

    Deer VS. '99 GTS

    Holy crap, my friend just had this happen to him this weekend. Crazy that I was posting here and then it happened to him. He has a 2008 BMW 335 xi and the front passenger side is really screwed. Here is a pic.

    Need help with heat/throttle issue - LONG

    So you think I should go get steel wire and extend the connections from the car? I can do that rather quickly since I am now a solder genius with my solder iron. :) I assumed I destroyed my O2 sensors when I first got the throttle issue. I have never had that issue before and it happened day one...

    Hey Guys, I have a problem that I really need help with. I have been fighting a few issues with the car and now I am so pissy that I don't know what to do anymore. I just need help. Here are the issues: The first one is that recently I changed out my O2 sensors to try and fix the bog I get when...

    Deer VS. '99 GTS

    You know, I always think about that here where I live. There are deer everywhere at night and they love to jump out infront of you. I am so sorry that happened. At least you were ok and nothing major really happened to your car.
