    My engine sounds like a semi?

    idle fluctuates and car is running hotter than normal

    The idle problem could be a couple of things. First I would inspect your IAC (Pendulum connected to the throttle body with a harness connected to it), clean it out and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, then I would next check for any vacuum leaks. Smelling coolant and running hotter...

    130 amp alt install

    Well, if you want to see if the alternator is working turn the car on and disconnect the positive cable on the battery (correct me if I'm wrong fellas). If the car doesn't die then the alternator is charging. Is the battery light on in your cluster?

    Underdrive pulleys worth it??

    I had under-drive pullies on my LX when I first bought it. I ended up taking them off for charging and cooling issues and putting my stock ones back on. With that being said, you could definately feel a difference in the lower RPMs with them off. If you have cooling or charging issues, the...

    PCV Ticking?

    Had the hood open, noticed a ticking coming from the passenger side valve cover. It's in the very back, there's a 3/8 hose, I believe it's the PCV valve, but I'm not absolutely sure. Anyhow, I put my hand on it and you can feel the tick right there. Are these things notorious for ticking...
