I think because of the cold temps the idle is going crazy, already had a high idle code because of the GTM kit.

Idle was jumping up and down. Turn on the AC belt and it'll be steady but raise up to 1800ish rpms. Sounded like a damn racecar.

Drove it around and at stop lights , idle going up and down, up and down. Sounded liek a fawked up cammed car. I bet people were annoyed its so loud anyways.

Did the throttle accelerator peddle relearn procedure, throttle valve closed postion relearn, and the idle air volume relearn. RPMs went steady and down to 1100ish were it should have been. Sat there for a few minutes everything looks good. Drive it back home and it back acting like a complete fool.


While I took it out, about totaled it getting on the on-ramp yesterday, second time in a week this has happened. Thing is making probably 50whp more because of the cold air and the traction on the tires is considerably less. Going about 70 mph, hit it in third and thing almost went completely sideways. I held it and it whipped back around. Nothing mroe I can do with tires unless its MT radials and I'd rather not go that route. I dont think bumping up to 325 with the r compounds will help.

A lot of issues to sort out. smh

That reminds me I haven't changed the PS fluid in my Z for a few years. Did the brakes and clutch last week, though - almost out of Ate Super Blue, though, I guess I'll have to restock with the Typ 200 Gold.

It's not bad as long as it's already working OK. All I did was a gravity bleed. For the brakes I used my pressure bleeder, though, and again, it was just a flush, so no drama.

Oh I thought you changed your clutch


I did the fluid too but I used a turkey baster and repeated the process until the fluid stayed clean

Just dropped my y pipe off at the muffler shop, $50 to fix the cracks hope they do a good job. Was going to cost me $40 for the ss mig wire plus another bunch of money for the tri gas so I made the leap of faith at Spartan brake and muffler... Fingers crossed.

Did my first audio install. Got all the parts from Crutchfield.com. Love that site. Got the sub box after checking around on here and was informed about the site zenclosures. Again, amazing site. And yes I know the wiring 'neatness' of my amp is craptacular.

Default Replaced passenger side window motor

Realigned the driver side window after replacing the convertible top last year, which solved the issue of the window not being flush with the top. The passenger side was always an issue ever since I got the car in 2011. I bought a new motor off of ebay and installed it last weekend. Window works fine now. No more water leaks.
