    I just finished readjusting my base idle RPM's to 1000rpms with the spout and IAC disconencted. Reset the TSP to .99 volts. Plugged the IAC and Spout back in. Idle speed is now 1300rpms. That seems a little high since I mechanically have to raised. I pulled the battery cable to reset the...

    Car won't take A/C refrigerant, compressor won't start.

    ok, bringing her back to life... I noticed my compressor is coming on and off every 3-5 seconds. I put a gauge on the high side and I bounce between too low and too high and of course my engine idle is bouncing right along with it. So do I add more to it or remove some? I did the R134...

    Fuel Pressure Drop with Engine Rev

    So what is normal?? Dropping 3-5psi or should there be no drop at all?? I am curious as well cause I know mines drops when I rev her and I have a 190lph fuel pump. If its not suppose to drop at all then that might be my surge issue/hanging idle.
