Oh yeah, Another Idle problem
ok before yesterday night when my car freaked out...
Deffinition of Freak out:
Driving at about 60mph was going from 4th to 5th and with the clutch in and foot resting lightly on the gas pedal the tach read my rpm to wayyyy past redline then it settled back to normal, (engine sound stayed the same as if it did not rev that high) i took it home let it cool, crazy idle 2000-1800 back and forth so i turn it off, thinking the run with a supra must have freaked it out, i go out to drive it, i get a oil level light, i check my oil barely any on my dipstick, so i put in a quart 20w-50. It had full oil last night before i ran the supra and now im really worried about it....But i will show you guys the video i have of what my car is doing....as soon as I find this facking usb cable.....
Before last night, my idle was at 1k even never moved at all, so now im pissed off..............
any help? I know my electrical system is on the fritz so if anyone has any suggestions, or just sit back and wait for me to post the video?

New Development with my idle
Ok, Lets throw some terms out there first..
A Cold Start - To me perticular that means my car was turned off over an hour ago, and is cold and I dont need to play with my magic fuel pump switch
A Warm Restart - The car was running, I shut it off and im going to turn it back on within 1/2 hr of running and I have to use my fuel pump switch.
Now, on a cold start, the idle is fine, after driving around on a warm restart the idle returns to normal........
