I dropped my 1991 LS Teg, to have the cam/timing belt replace on Thursday (Australia Time)… I get a call Friday to tell me that I also now need to have a water pump replaced, they said it was leaking so I agreed to get it replaced… they are having problems
They replaced the timing belt and the water pump and now, when they start my car, it idles kinda rough, when is warms a little it idles VERY rough, and once its hot it STALLS… they are completely confused at what is causing this, mechanically the work they have done is A1, but it is having the funny little problem… ideas peoples??
Timing belt is off a tooth, timing isn’t set correctly, and plugs and/or wires not properly installed are all possibilities. Any competent shop should be able to do these things correctly though.
you should try messing with the ideal screw or whatever its called but its on the thottle body cause i had the same problem with the ideal and i messed with that screw and it seemed to have fix it. you can try having your throttel body cleaned or your injectors that may also be the problem
I got my car back today
/me starts doing the happy dance… still not too sure what was causing the rough idling, but all seems ok now, so I am one happy camper… and the price was more than reasonable… so crisis over
