Ok, so I recently changed my plugs and wires. Cleaned what I could on the Intake manifold and the TB, as well as re-oiled my air filter. I was having a real rough idle after I did the InManifold and TB, but the plugs and wires kinda fixed that. But I still had excessive vibration at idle, but none during acceleration. Two days ago I run this road and pushed it kinda hard (I was having some fun), the next day I go to start up and everything seems fine, vibrations at idle almost all but ceased. When I pressed the pedal I got what sounds like I have a mini muffler up in my engine bay. Dont get me wrong, it sounds kinda cool just crusing under 2K (anything above that, it sounds normal). As I have never had this problem before, figured someone here might be able to figure this out.
Thanks! |

Yeah, did that. Stripped off the heat shield and sprayed. Couldnt find anything yet. I'll try tomorrow under the car and see what I get. I sprayed the TB with carb/TB Cleaner. Im not sure if the idle changed per say, as I wasnt spraying and reading at the same time, but it seemed to smooth it out....not as rough. I dont want to strip down the TB again, but there is a new gasket on it. As far as an exhaust leak goes.....Ive usually seen smoke (not mine, but other peoples), and smelled exhaust. Thing is I have neither.
Im going to do some other checks tomorrow as well and see what i come up with. |
