Looking at a 87 t2 in amazing condition, but they want to much. anyways when the car starts before it warm the idle isnt steady and goes up and down in a rythmic motion. Any ideas of what the problem is and could it be a serious problem?

 

could be the TPS...maybe its out of adjustment or a new one is needed. how did it drive?

 

Its a car with the idle set wrong, tps set wrong, fast idle cam and thermowax set wrong etc. Seems to be a normal condition for cars owned by people who don't understand their car and have some learning to do. Boy, was that crabby or what? Time to go finish up my wallboard project or pull weeds in the back yard.

 

yep, all you probably need is a TPS

nothing to be concered about. Whats the specs on the car so we can determine whether or not its a good deal?

good luck

 

87 black t2 60k orig. miles Im outstanding conditon. except for the whole idle thing. Intake, dov, exhaust. Ran like new, pulled great. But they want 7,900. I have my offer of 5k. Just waiting to see whats gonna happen

 

Oh geez, I can't believe that people actually pay prices like that.

Excellent
"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog inspection. The engine compartment should be clean, with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new or nearly new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.

Blue Book on an 87 TII in Excellent condition with 60K miles = $3,095 in my area.

 

yes yes 7900 is being rapped even 5K is ver steep, offer them $3500 and if they don't except, look for another on ebay, I found my 88TII for $2500 with a rebuilt engine with 30k on it, Cone filter, FCD, Midpipe, Cd player, fog lights, and no emissions.....an 87 "should" be no more than 2500 if the car has been driven as a daily, but if the body only has 60k I' would only pay 3k maybe 3500 if its in emaculate condition, have them fix the TPS then come back...
