I went to handle my registration... fine.. get back in car, have to take side streets.. main roads stacked up..
I drove into downtown, engine fully warmed up, spent two minutes on the starter trying to get her to go, flutter, flutter, flutter.. never really ignited anything, just finally the revs went up.. and she's idling like 300.. I've never had that happen. Ususally, the unstable nature of her idle between starts (if idle settles at 900, it's going to 900 on idle for that trip, til you crank it again) can be dealt with by staying in the tq curve for the last minute before parking it. Not this time. So, I drove home, shut down, and she cranked right up that time, still idles in the low hundreds.. there can't be any oil pressure down there, so I keep my foot on it. I hope this isn't a valve related problem, one more valve train related problem, and goodbye flat 4s, it's been fun. M |
