idle set to high or vacuum leak.

Accord Man · 03-12-2003, 10:35 PM

with everything you've already done, I'd think its a vacuum leak.

ebpda9 · 03-12-2003, 11:25 PM

or a blown head gasket

LECKEY73 · 03-13-2003, 07:11 AM

How would I find out if it is a vacuum leak? and if my head casket is blown wont i have a over heating problems or would it just do what it is doing. the car is fine other than the up and down problem I am not pulling any codes at all but I have unplugged the EGR and I am not getting any codes ether, or am I suppose to?

; need help bad!!!!!

LECKEY73 · 03-15-2003, 10:55 AM

where would I find mt temp gasket? my temperture gague reads find. I am on my way to pep boys now to get an o2 sensor.

temp gasket is on the left side of the engine block to the rear, it's very close to ur inlet to ur throttle body, follow ur outlet pipe thats from ur radiator to it...that's what i did, took me a while to install, well like an hour, cause i could unscrew the lower bold without taking some parts off....if u still need help i'll take a pic for ya....peace
