hey whats up its me the jazer bothering u guys again. Ive posted a topic a week ago pertaining to my cars eratic behavior. Despite the fact that my cars has no performance loss or streetablity im thinking this is beyond this world and into the "Paranormal". these are the problems with my 7.



1). OLD: Car shuts off on me once and while. when i first start it.



2). OLD: Eratic idle when i start it up (NOT ALL THE TIME). Shoots to 3000rpms then the fan goes on and make mucho noise. SO i tap the gas ever so slightly and it goes back down to 750RPms.



3) old/New: the car's rpms fluctuate from 350 RPM to 1000 RPm. The car jumps like a rabbit on crack.



4) NEW:. My radio was on inside my car while the car was off. I found this unusual since everytime i shut off the car i shut the radio off and the everything is off. The radio is on nevertheless so i go back to the car and start it up to make sure it didnt drain my battery. The car starts up fine, despite the fact thats it was idling on 3000 RPMs so i touched the gas and it went back down to 750. So i let the car run for 5 minutes i shut it off and the radio was still friggin on. I was like **** what the ****.



This is where it gets possessed.



I press the button to turn it off and its still on with no key in the ignition. I press the button to switch between am/fm and then the radio begins to turn off and on, off and on. It like blinkers in my car and the keys are in my hand so i just removed the faceplate and hope my car starts tomorow.



thanks alot jason, nyc



ps dont say its an electrical problem that is obvious!! lol



oh **** my nugga is back https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif " Sha boing boing man!!"

hey how did you fix that idling problem? Mine does it too

ROTARYROCKET7 03-16-2003 10:46 PM

oh the idling i think u just go to the idling thingy on top of the tranny . You can adjust it with a screw driver.

89 Rag 03-16-2003 10:47 PM

who installed the deck? if the radio doesnt shut off when you turn the ignition of then its been hardwired to a battery direct power source. its not possed, just jimmy rigged.

Seppuku 03-16-2003 10:49 PM

he told me it was done by a shop a few months ago and this is the first time it has happened i thought that too 89 rag.

why does everything have to called jimmy when its ghetto. or billy bob?

yeah i had it done by a shop and nothing like this ever happened to me. Lately my car has been acting bizzare. Weird idling, eratic rpms, shuts off on me and now the radio. This can be warning of a larger poltergist. Im so scared. They here. The piston demons that have come to reak havok on my wankel. Behold the devils themselves ahhhhhhhhhhhh https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

pengaru 03-17-2003 10:48 AM

is the temp around there changing drastically llately like it is here in IL?



if so it could be change of climate ******* up your world, fuel injected 80's cars can be a pain in the elctrical ass.

j9fd3s 03-17-2003 11:52 AM

well when you start the car cold it is supposed to go to 3000rpms for 30seconds, and the fan also comes on. then it should ilde at 1500rpms and gradually as it warms up it will drop to the normal 750-800 idle.



go back to the palce that sold you the radio and show them what it does, they prolly taped the wires to close together or something

um all i know it that since i bought the car it didnt go to 3000 rpm it goes to like 1500 or 2000 but the climate has been changing alot round here pengaru. it was 19 degrees like 3 days ago and today its like 63 degrees

Seppuku 03-17-2003 07:49 PM

i tryed to explain the idle thing to you last night but you wouldnt listen.

oh **** i forgot that was your screename lol

Rob x-7 03-18-2003 06:52 PM

when the idle revvs up high, just kick it down, sometimes the idle at that point might jump a bit when the car is cold, maybe stall, just tap the gas and even it out, dont sweat it.

Apex13B 03-18-2003 07:00 PM

From my experience, the TB mod usually helps this issue.



What i discovered with my similar idiling/random stall problems today was the stupid little o-ring that seals the intake flex tube to the TB, i replaced it. The rubber ring was ****** flat as a pancake and not sealing. I used a ferrari rear seal housing o-ring and versachem'd it in. The car runs like a champ for the most part now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...

gazellis 03-19-2003 09:09 AM

The car is supposed to go to 3000 RPM then come down to 1500 or so then eventually come down to 750.



What if your car is no longer doing this? What needs to be done to get it to do this again?

Seppuku 03-19-2003 07:44 PM

It could be the idle a vacuum leak and im sure maybe a few other things that could need to be fixed.

What excactly is yours doing gazellis?

gazellis 03-20-2003 06:53 AM

When I start my car cold, it revs to about 2500 RPM but does not stay. It immediately drops and then wants to quit. I rev it myself up to 3000 and hold it there for a few seconds, then it drops to about 1100 for a little bit then down to 750 as the engine warms up. The fan does come on.



I think I do have vacuum problems though. I have run all the diagnostic tests from the Haynes manual and nothing seems to be functioning as Haynes says it should. The ACV blows air all the time instead of just above 1500 RPM. The relief solenoid valve does not have a vacuum when the car is revved about 2000 RPM. If I apply a vacuum to the EGR solenoid valve, Haynes says the car should run rough or stall. I can't get this to hold a vacuum.



It has been a pain in the butt because I think this has a lot to do with why the car would not pass inspection.

ROTARYROCKET7 03-20-2003 09:56 AM

I JUST NOTICED WHEN ITS COLD THE CAR DOESNT REV TO 3K JUST TO 15OO RPM. SO I GUESS IT DOES DEPEND ON THE TEMPERATURE. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IT WAS 60 TODAY IS 35

my twotone rx 03-20-2003 10:33 AM

yeah mine wont idle and doesnt want to stay running..i got it figured that its a vaccum leak..i changed all the vaccum lines now its on to the upper intake manifold gasket..hope that does it..if not then i have no clue what it is

lower intake gasket, air control valve

my twotone rx 03-20-2003 10:50 AM

so i should probably replace all of them or atleast check all of them b4 i do anything thing?

yup check em



mike

my twotone rx 03-20-2003 01:46 PM

will i have to take it somewhere or could i check this myself?



AJ

j9fd3s 03-20-2003 02:11 PM

you can check it yourself, its easy

the non flamable way: put a rubber glove, or suitable plug over the intake, pull off a vacuum hose and blow into the engine, its should hold vacuum. you should be able to hear your vacuum leaks, some soapy water will confirm it.



the flamable way: start engine, spray flamable liquid of your choice on the engine, vacuum hoses, and intakes gaskets, be careful flamable liquids (wd40, carb spray etc) are flamable



mike

pengaru 03-20-2003 03:25 PM

you're going to have to ensure your rotors are not oriented such that an apex is over the exhaust port, otherwise it won't be anywhere near sealed for the nonflammable test...

bradley87se 03-20-2003 07:55 PM

The idle is supposed to go up to 3000rpms briefly then down to 1500rpms then slowly to 750ish. My car will vary with temps (this winter in VA its been 15* one week and then 65* another) Cold starts will keep it up a little longer and a warmer start hits the 3k mark then drops almost immediately. As to fix the problem i dont know if you have to? Unless it just starts to go crazy like 3k to 500 then to 3k back and forth? Im pretty new to 7s...just saying what ive observed.

ROTARYROCKET7 03-20-2003 11:48 PM

NAH IT DOESNT DO THAT. I GUESS IM JUST OVEREACTING TO ANYTHINGLOL

my twotone rx 03-21-2003 11:02 AM

well before i do that i was wondering if it might be the air control valve like you said before..i was reading a little bit and they said that a defective acv could be the reason for afterburning in the exhaust..and well my car does that realy bad..like everytime i get to about 5 grand and then shift it pops really loud..so if the acv was defective that would make it not idel good right?
