Still idle issue
#41
A pinhole leak in the cooling system could cause the coolant level to run low.....and in turn not be properly read by the sensors. This could possibly be the reason for a fluctuating idle.
Have the cooling system pressure checked for leaks. The motor must be up to and above normal operating temp at idle before the cooling fan will activate.
Leave the rad cap off, let the motor run with the heat and blower on high, once the rad boils over without any air bubbles.....rev the rpms up a bit and make sure that the fan comes on, turn motor off and let cool, top off rad and overflow tank, replace rad cap and then monitor the situation.

I even offered her blood and still no go! plenum gasket is sharp!
What i find weird is that if its a cooling system issue and how would it be solved by bleeding it? how is it that the revs up and down are happening while the cap is off during the bleed process. i would assume that if the cooling system sensors were being thrown off, would be after the fact of closing the cap???

Things i've noticed recently, with the a/c on i have no tranny kicks or kinks at all. The idle at certain times starts to rise and gets to the 1k and than the moment the fans kick in the idle goes right back to normal where its suppose to be.

Not yet thats the next thing on the agenda. Moved this week so kinda been stuck doing that, but soon will have a little time to check it out.
What am i doing exactly?? i know i take it to advance auto and they should be able to tell me percentage but what was the range suppose to be with it closed and with WOT?
