  • problems after rebuild

    dudes and or dudettes

    i jus finished replacing the heads on my 5speed 95 3.4. everything runs pretty well when im driving but she idles like hell and stalls occasionally when the rpms drop down after a shift coming to a stop. jus wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the idle or if you guys have any ideas as to why shes idling rough. timing maybe? thanks for any help.

    Re: problems after rebuild

    Can I ask why you replaced the heads? I'm asking because I had a blown head gasket and after I fixed that, the car idled rough (16 mpgs also). I replaced the O2 sensors and the engine runs pretty good right now. Pull both of your O2 sensors and if one or both are really black with carbon, replace them ($20-30 from any parts store).
