toid Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have been having an erratic idle. It got better after some great advice I git here... not "fixed" but tolerable. I had a VC gasket leaking so I decided to replace it... which meant cleaning out under the VC. (ewwwwwwww - greasy) Got through, wouldn't crank. turned over fine. Had pressure on the rail, but no fire. A little over 130K miles, prime suspect was CPS. The prevailing opinion is that they last about 120-130K miles so I replaced it after church tonight. Pain in the backside, but I am "blessed" with small hands so I got it done finally. all that for background: NOW, I have a hesitation (maybe call it a bog) under throttle. More noticable when revving in Park, but also noticable when driving. Wasn't doing this before. Any Ideas? I intend to check for any vacuum lines I offfended while working, but it's all I got, so I brought my troubles here to the experts. I ran through a couple dozen posts searching for something within the parameters of my recent troubles, but do dice. Thanks guys, Rev.

Dillithium Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Bog under throttle and irregular idle can be a lot of things, vacuum leak(check the intake manifold, snug up the bolts), fuel pressure, timing. I'm no expert, but those are things you could check before an actual expert replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ewwww - greasy ??? Won't crank (starter not turning over the engine)?...or won't start (fire up)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toid Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I an borderline neurotic about dirty hands. I love to mechanic but hate grease. A troubling dichotomy but I live with it. Cranked but not fired. It now fires n runs after the caps replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toid Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Good to hear from you maharaja Cruiser - Of the "master list" I have knocked off 1,3,4,5, 7 (tested, but did not overdrill the holes, Sunday night when I replaced the CPS), 8 but I do not feel really good about it, I need to study up the procedure and do it again, 11, and had my local mechanic check out my EGR valve (number 21) he said it was OK.

cruiser54 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Like ordering Chinese food, isn't it? Check the CPS output. With post 7, you get eggrorr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Check to make sure you did not knock the vacuum line off the MAP sensor, or put it back on the the bolt instead of the vacuum port by mistake. ( I have done this before, does not run to good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toid Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm sure there is some ingrained metaphysical significance to that number. Should work fine. In biblical numerology 5 is the signifier of grace and 4 is creative miracles. Grace carrying creative miracles. Sorry... bible nerd, I guess. Still haven't checked the cps but the problem cleared up with a little driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toid Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 To avoid churching up the thread too much: http://www.amazon.com/Number-Scripture-Publisher-Kregel-Classics/dp/B004UHU0IQ/ref=sr_1_sc_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397164641&sr=1-2-spell&keywords=number+in+sipture This is the book on my shelf that I reference. More of a topical examination of patterns than exhortation. My wife is really studied in stuff like this as she really gets into typology and patterns in the OT. http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/1.html above is a link to another source... to give you an idea. disclaimer: I do not elevate such subjective material to the level of sound biblical doctrines and the authority of the divinely inspired scriptures.
