Well my car went in on Monday for:
1-- My Sumitomo HTR's mount and balance (dealer price was actually cheaper than other places $55). Stockers to the trash.
:angry:


2-- Replacement headlight housings fogging up when I wash the car. = "order headlight lens"

3-- Ticking noise coming from Sunroof. = "Order sunroof glass" wtf ....The last time they replaced the dome light thinking that was the cause. I don't think the glass is the cause but whatever.

4-- The Imfamous idle shutter problem when coming almost to a complete stop. I mentioned to them that a very knowledgeable member of this board (Scalbert" ) mentioned the possible culprit being the IACV (Idle Air control valve). = "Order EGR valve"

What is EGR Valve, is it the same thing ?

 

The mad face under the tire section, is because I now have nice etched wheels, line going across teh top of each blade where I assume the machine got a ahold of them.

 

EGR valve...exhaust gas recirculating valve. It's only basic function is to reduce NOx which is a form of emissions...it really won't have anything to do w/ ur idle unless ur flooring it and then coming to a stop.

 

It's operated by vacuum and the ecu. Vacuum is applied to it when u suddenly flap the throttle and release it or driving uphill.

 

not the case with me. If I floor it, It will stay floored. I do not just hammer it from stoplight to stoplight. So I have no idea why they are changing this

 

lemme know about the idle thing I got the same crap going on now, but the tranny is failing so it is the least of my worries

 

I'm working on it, seems lots of people have had this problem with no resolutions listed.

 

You going to do anything about the wheels?
