hershy314 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The check engine light does come on, then goes off. According to O'Riely's they cant test for problems if the light is off and it just so happens that when I'm in the area the light stays off but when I'm not it comes on. I've tried autozone but their scanners are for 96 and newer cars, mine's a 93. And yes I do know how to check for a vac. leak. I even have a vacuum gauge to check it. When I was checking for a leak I never saw or heard anything to suggest a leak. Tho I was hearing a whinning sound, not sure where yet been too cold to stay out there long enough to track down all thats wrong (at least that I'm aware of) Quote http://athphotography.deviantart.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/hershy314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I forgot to note my check engine light went on and off. Something is up somewhere.

chewie Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm going to try cleaning the iac when I get off work today. I do have a cold air intake on it, didn't seem to affect the car when I first put it on. I've had the battery disconected a few times so the ecu should relize its there already. if previous fails.. alt could be taking a shit. and the ecu is idiling up the motor trying to get it to charge..

ChevyBoy95 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 i had this in my truck not too long ago. i had a crack in something on my engine, the bottom of it, and the air leak was causing it to get wierd amounts of air and idle at like 1500rpms when 600rpms is norm.

hershy314 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 my alt could be taking a shit true, sure hope not tho.....taurus parts are hard to find out for some reason. well used, brand new not a problem. maybe a new mechman alt? nah, dont need one that good. come to think about it, going down my driveway i have hit one spot thats scraped the bottom of my car a few times. usually hitting the subframe area. never noticed anything so i never thought much of it. really i hope its the alt, thats an easy fix. im sure one day i'll get this figured out.

hershy314 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Finally got around to putting a tester on my car, and came back with two parts I need to replace. One being the TPS and the other the EGR. I'm going to replace both, why leave a bad part on if ya can replace it right?
