SO, MY CAR DRIVES GREAT. I FIXED ALL THE VACUUM LEAKS AND ADDED NEW TPS AND ALL THE OTHER SH#T THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE IDLE. RAN LIKE CRAP WHEN I BOUGHT IT BUT RUNS LIKE A DREAM NOW...

HERE'S THE PROB. SOMETIMES AND ONLY SOMETIMES WHEN I COME UP TO A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR JUST IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES IT LOPES UP AND DOWN THEN IT WILL EVEN IT SELF OUT AFTER ABOUT 15 LOPES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM?

OH YA, MY POWER STEERING PUMP IS CONSTANTLY LOUD LIKE ITS LOW ON FLUID EVEN WHEN ITS FULL. I DONT THINK THIS IS THE PROBLEM BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP.

 

Some dudes run ATF if they are out of Power Steering Fluid, this happened to me once I drained it ran some new fluid and its all good now, if not your pump is going.

 

YA, ILL DO THAT TO TRY AND GET RID OF THE NOISE.

BUT AS FAR AS THE IDLE LOPING, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INPUT?

 

i think i know what you are talking about. it happened to my 84 and they told me that it was one or two of my valves bairly sticking so i got a head tune up on them and it runs perfect. may want to check into that

 

Did you replace the IAC??

 

this may sound very dumb but what is an IAC? i have a carb. car so i dont know

its the idle air control sensor

 

OOHHHHH i had something like that but then i went with an aftermarket carb. thanks for in info

 

yep it says he replaced the TPS but the iac could very well be at fault.

 

YA SURE DID. I REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH IDLE. THE THING IS, IT RUNS GREAT WITH NO POWER LOSSES. ITS ONLY IF I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND LET IT IDLE, ONLY SOMETIMES IT WILL LOPE FOR LIKE 20-30 SECS THEN EVEN ITSELF OUT AND BE TOTALLY FINE UNTIL THE NEXT RANDOM TIME IT HAPPENS.
