Heat damage!!?
Hey guys, my weak copied FD key caused this whole problem today -_-
I turned my 93 on to warm it up while I went inside to go get ready for a tennis game I had later on in the evening. It was about 82 degrees outside and a good day to drive it. Anyways, my key is really weak so it doesn't disengage the lock all the way unless it is forced, I managed to open the door, start it, close it halfway and go back inside. The door locked on me for 1 hour until a locksmith arrived!!
I felt the exhaust and the hood getting hotter every minute and when the fan would turn on, I could hear idle sputtering as if the rpm's were dropping. So, two MAIN questions. What is causing the idle sputtering and would that kind of heat damage any critical components? I have original 39k miles and the strut bar was basically too hot to touch for more than 1 second. P.S the FD had idle problems from a few months ago, once in a while it would idle perfectly fine, but after starting it from its parked position for an hour or so, the idle would drop and shake all over the place.
