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! |

I was thinking of doing this too so let me get this straight:
1. Remove intake (car switched off) 2. Spray throttle body cleaner inside while playing the the throttle so it gets inside 3. Put everything back in 4. Start car. Is that right? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
