Default UPDATE running ritch

im not sure but i think my car was and still is running lean instead of ritch lol, not reallly sure... so far i have..... replaced all vaccum lines some were not connected and in the wrong place, next was the TPS, then IAC, then ACT. i got some of my vaccum back now i have power breaks again, the idle is very much inproved, it doesnt stick at a certian rpm any more although right now my only complaint is the idle will still fluctuate up and down at initail start up. and it will not start if its cold i just chanhed the ACT so we will see if that help tomorrow morning. the exhaust still sticks to high hell, Next step its MAF and a Chip. does any one have any sugestions on weird idle?

OK, instead of throwing parts at it, have you had it scanned for codes? Is the CEL coming on also? Seems like you're wasting a lot of money/time and getting no where.

you can run a koeo/koer test yourself..no need to go have it scanned..and most likely the guys at autozone will have no clue how to scan it or even have the right scanner....they'll probably try and use an obd II scanner and then tell you they can't pull any codes cause they got no clue which scanner to use and how to even run a koeo/koer test
