Surging? - Page 2

Sicy Stang · 04-02-2003, 02:21 PM

Ok my car is at the shop. They just called me. It was indeed the Idle control valve that went bad and apparently was covered in carbon

So........ they're going to change that and also do a complete maintenance cleaning of the throttle body, and something about the fuel rail something or other.. in any case everything will be de-carbonized and they said my car should run stronger and have more power.

Its going to cost a lot but I couldnt have done it myself.

Thanks everyone for your help.
And I apologize to 8ursup for hijacking his thread

The fuel rail is the shiny polished metal strip that runs along both sides of the lower intake. Your fuel injectors are held into the lower intake with this. The fuel pressure regulator, which is the round canistor located towards the back of the intake, is also mounted on the fuel rail.

Thanks.

I have a feeling I'm going to learn a lot about my car on this forum!

My car runs so lurvvvly now

I can totally tell the difference. They said my throttle body and injectors were just caked with gunk. And this strange noise it used to make when I let off the gas is GONE. I cant believe it.
