well, the car is acting funny again (of course b/c I just told my mechanic not to worry bout it, that it was fine
) ...It's driving like I have a flat tire..or it's driving like I'm driving stick and don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Tomorrow I'm going to try the techron...I'll let ya know how it goes!!
I highly doubt it gonna work, maybe next time you should record what your mechanic told you. I found most of mechanics just give out lots bullshit to answer your question, because they dont know what happen but they want to sounds professional.
I had discussed this issue with my friend and he suspected it is idle valve leak or A/C vacum leak.
Of course i hope the 10 dollars solution will do the work. good luck
btw.
you need to have a shop to diagnosis the problem. I think it cost 40-80,...they just check timing, compression ratio, air box, A/F ratio and some simple stuffs. but they might able to find answer by that way.
If you can deal with bolts and clips, you can try to exam if anything clogged up on your air intake and filter. Make sure all the pipe are connected tightly. and also check if there are some mystery excessive layer of oil moisture (indication of something vacum leak). while it idle, observe the engine bay and see if you can hear something unnormal such as knocking sounds or whistle sounds (indication of of some vacum leak).
and also, disconnect your battery for 15 minutes, then reconnect it and let it idle for 10 mintues, it might help. Because the computer had reset and learning all the information of the motor
