I'm throwing a Engine Coolant Temp Circuit Malfunction code. I talked to one of my friends over at Advanced and he said that there's a "checklist" i should run through before i try to replace the Switch, Controller or the electric plug.
Any thoughts? I'm also getting some oil in my valve cover (where my sparkplug wires are). I can't tell where it's comming from. I don't belive it's comming from the Oil Cap. The oil issue might have something to do with this. Well after my car is warmed up...i'm getting a somewhat erratic idle. my toggles my GM MAFT and the screw on my Throttle body to no avail. it idles at 1200 then drops and bounces from 1000 to 1150 then back to 1200. it's like a cylinder isn't hitting right or something. Sorry about the blast of problems but advice and your experienced knowledge would be helpful. -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

QUOTE (TotalEclipse97 @ Mar 22 2006, 08:35 AM) oooh...that sounds like fun  Nuthin' a little JB Weld won't fix. I had the same problem, and ended up being the oil cap, even though I swore to God it was on there well enough. I ended up tightening it down so hard you needed the filter wrench to get it off. Also, be sure to check the EGR valve for leaks and such. Could be the culprit of your idling woes. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)
