Aighty guys I decided to go ahead and do the gasket from water pump housing to the block that i had previously done incorrectly and was leaking. I also decided to change the water temp sensor that was malfunctioning as well. Anyhow I had it running tonight and it kept dying on me and sounded like a cough right before it would do it, maybe that was just air coming out of the intake, common sound I think. Anyhow you guys think I got something wet? It idles all the way up to 3500 on start up and then drops down like it normally would but it never used to bounce that high. Anyhow once i let it off of the gas it will idle for a second with the fan on full blast and then just cut off. I didnt have much time to play with it, but any ideas?

 

nump

 

bump

 

maybe you forgot to plug something back in, i would go over everythhing you unpluged or maybe you pulled a vac line off or something

 

aihgt i looked and nothing. She starts and idles fine for a minute but when i step on the pedal it seems to lag a bit and then it dies and i can hear this rapid clicking noise coming from around the intake manifold area by the BAC thingymajigger. COuld be TPS area but i cant really locate the clicking..

 

It sounds like one of the water sensors is unplugged or bad...runs the car in a very rich "limp" mode.

 

ok i just put a new water temp sensor in there.....think maybe I got something in the harness while it was unplugged?

 

apparently there was water on a sensor....I just ran it and lkept my foot on the gas, put it in gear and took her out and she has been fine ever since...thanx for any help
