Rebel4055 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) My brother has 95 I believe lumina and it idles too high and when he shifts to reverse it goes in hard, I googled around and found what I thought could fix it but I forgot what it was. It's a 3.1 V6. Tranny fluid is topped off. And when he idles his temp goes a little over half. Edited July 2, 2010 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.

OldsBoomer Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 he blow his intake gasket already? Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 he blow his intake gasket already? Don't think he did it runs perfect. The idle isn't that high but it doesn't seem normal, the temp doesn't go up too high either we just think since its idling high it's causing higher temp. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

bullet0597 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 So, let me see if im right, shifts hard into reverse? Higher idle? Temp. raise? Does it shift hard into any other gear while your going down the road? Have a whine sound to it a bit? Ever die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbernutz1 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 throttle body gasket might be leaking causing a high idle, or the idle air control motor (iac) might be going out. as for the going hard into reverse, has he checked his upper motor mounts that connect by the top of the radiator? if the bushings in those go bad they can make the car go into gear hard at first.

Will check that out he needs to get a tester since his check engine light is on that would tell us more. Anyway to see if the throttle body gasket is leaking or do you just replace it and hope for the best? And I'll check those motor mounts out tomorrow. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

white4d96 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Might also look into your TPS sensor. Good luck reading code's if it's a '95. Gotta use some special procedure to 'flash' the codes. I'll try and google up a link for ya. Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
