my car has idle problems when its cold I have to hold the gas untile it worms up a little bit I was thinking it was ether my wax pellit ,fast idle cam or my bac valve , and I read in the haynes manulle to check the bac valve you unplug it wile the cars runing to see if the idle changes I unpluged it and the idle didnt change so would that be my bac valve

k check your bac with an ohm meter it should read between 10 an 20 ohms if it does its good try that an let me know is your car a turbo

I don't have either, I'm sorry man. Have you checked your local parts yards?

**sidewaysFC** · 04-19-2011, 01:21 AM

ok im not to good with an electrical tester but I got 14 ohms , so its gotta be my fast idle cam or thermo wax pellet how would I adjust that or fix it.

Disassemble throttle body. Some have completely done away with them both.

what you mean the wax pellet and fast idle cam go bad a lot.

they guy blow the old motor up in my car. when that happened the oil was forced into the turbo an thru the exhaust where it collected yesterday i fixed my idle problem almost i guess its still around 1000 rpms but i took it for a ride and it was smoking real bad so i turned back an headed home. when i got home i popped the hood an checked everything was good all my fluids everything was right so i let it idle with it still smoking when my budddy said het oil is dripping out the exhaust so i looked it was funny but i wasnt loosing any oil pressure or oil so i reved it up a lil an some more oil shoot out so i shut the car down an u could hear the oil bubblin in the muffler it was too funny spent most of the day cleanning it out no the car doesnt smoke at all thats what happened to my exhuast i still need a tps sensor but the car is running strong

on a second note can anyone tell me how to adjust the boost for more psi this 10psi shit sucks is there a way like on a sti to adjust the waste gate or the diverter valve
