Well my car was running pretty ****ty today, so I tried spraying some carb cleaner in through the intake (I recently changed the plugs, wires,cap and rotor so I knew it wasn't that.) and the car tried to die out liek it should. So I gave it some gas while spraying the carb cleaner and then when i stopped it idle'd normal.
Then out of nowhere the car jumped to like 5500RPM, or something rediculously high, so I ran and shut the car off, unhooked the battery and let it sit for about an hour. The car now consistantly idles at 3000rpm, and when i turn the ignition off to shut the engine off, it doesn't seems to shut off properly, but almost stalls itself out. Did I screw a lot of sh!t up? I guess you can't trust everything you read on these forums cause i've read it multiple posts that you can spray carb cleaner through the intake.. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

Started the car, sprayed the carb cleaner in and the car died, exactly as I expected.
Started it up, revved it up a bit and sprayed the cleaner in. stop spraying and stopped reving, the car idle'd normal for a few seconds, then it jumped up really high, almost redline. Disconnected the battery, let it sit there while i ate supper, went back out and it wa at 3 k. let it sit for say another hour, and it reved to 3k again. Drove the car around the bay, at 3k idle, and ii basically hit 40km/w without touching the gas pedal Went back out after about 2 hours, didn't start it yet, jiggled the throttle cable to see if maybe it was stuck, which it wasn't. So I just tried starting it, and it started up, revve to 2k, and now its idling normally again.. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
