Ok guys, I found maybe 90% of the problem. I readjusted my rocker arms. Bryan at pcmforless suggested they may be too tight and hell yes...they were. I hated that tapping sound so I had my friend adjust them twice. They may make a little more noise now, but it's worth it to have a car that will idle.

I hope this can help some of you other guys.


Bryan at pcmforless is cool.


Thanks,


Mark

Okay I swapped in a 58mm TB with a new IAC, and readjusted the rockers @ zero lash I went 1/2 additional turn. The car idled but at like 500rpm and eventually died.

I had to rev it up to keep the car running and it pretty much stumbles and hits a brick wall around 2-3.5K and will rev freely from 3.5K+.

Im thinking when my opti got drowned that it messed something up....Im thinking about yanking the water pump off and swapping in my old opti that I know works.

What do you guys think?
