    Rough Start - For About 30 Seconds

    well Joe, have you reset your computer ? you should remove the electrical connector from the IAC with the motor running ( warmed up) and it should idle at 500rpm. if it does not, remove the cover from the front of the throttle body, look there on the front, you should find a threaded rod that...

    Losing Vaccume at high speed

    I have a 98 Xlt auto trans. I love the old Girl, never lets me down. I do a lot of highway speed traveling for my job and I have noticed that when I'm cursing at speeds over 6o or 70, that from time to time the A/C vents stop blowing out of the A/C Vents, and it switches to the Defrost vents. If...
