  • New problem with my car tonite, so what gives? (Sorry long)

    Ok, so to start the nite it was very cold (around 25*), ne ways I decided to dump my clutch at a friends house around 3500, and burn up my tires so it bounced off the rev limiter a bit, and I shifted but by accident when I shifted I let it out slowly and it went to 5k. So the rest of the night when i put the clutch in w/no gas pedal my car will rev up 200 rpms from were it is and not drop down for 1-2 seconds right about the time I shift so I end up shifting at 4000 instead of a nice 1500. So what gives do u think maybe I need to bleed my clutch, or what(seems sprongy sometimes)? Also, I have a new clutch w/like 5000 on it, and when I go up my driveway i tend to let it out at about 1100 and now it get this creaking or screeching, it can't be chatter can it?

    I dont know how it could possibly be this, but my throttle follower was way too high after I cleaned my IAC out. It would rev up or stay at a higher RPM than I wanted during shifts. I turned the follower down and its perfect now.

    I have no idea what the creaking or screeching sound is though...

        its in the computer, its the code that commands the IAC open so many steps.

          Ahh the wonders of not having an older style engine (that doesn't have so much computerized systems....)

          Oh well, what can you do...

            When my engine is cold in the 92, lately the rpms are staying up more then I want because the intake gaskets are bad, allowing extra air that isn't being limited by the throttle body to get in there, raising my idle. Keep that in mind because intake gaskets going out on these engines are common.

                  Junkyard, GP's and Cutlass's offered them.

                    I don't remember the exact colors, but one is ground, one is constant power, and one is a remote wire, like on amplifiers, only on when the stereo is on. I still haven't put mine in the 92 yet.
