I finally became tired of the throttle sticking closed, requiring harder pressure on the accelerator initially. It usually resulted in a short high rev after...
Hey everyone. I have a question that hopefully someone can help me on. Long story really short, I took it to a dealer because it wasn't always starting. The...
I am having a similar problem, I have a 2001 sc1 with 71,000mi at about 65K the idle got a little lumpy and the idle started slowly climbling. now it stays at...

On my '93, Ignition coils cost me about $20-30 each (you need 2) and good wires about $30-40. On the '93, it's a no-brainer to do, just don't cross the wires,...

OK, thank you for the information, but I have no understanding of what an EGR does and why it is necassary. It does not make sense to me to put exhaust...
Ding ding ding!!!!! You are correct! It's an emission reduction thing. Thank the federal government. Look at this page http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/egr.htm for...
It's job is to lower the overall cylinder temperature inside the engine to limit the formation of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). The hotter the combustion is the...
It should be noted that exhaust is used because it's considered inert and won't combust (at least not very much, compared to the air/fuel mixture). We're not...
I think most cars for many years in the US have one form or another of this, it reduces combustion temperatures and thereby reduces pollution. If the car...
Just about all cars with EGR have the problem. You are correct on the TDI. I have one and you can adjust the EGR flow through the computer which cuts down on...
ok, I cleaned the throtle body out and no change in idle speed. Next i have a question. Is that thing it truly and ERG valve, it seems to be more like an air...
