ok so its been about two weeks since i have done: spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, air filter, Computer's temp sensor, valve adjustment, engine oil with filter, transmission oil, differential oil.
But even before i did all of that, the car started to develop a tendency to start really hard and couldnt even really rev up because it would misfire and bog down. and would smoke when i gave it gas when i stared it and it was doing all of the misfiring or bogging. but i noticed that when i went to disconnect the idle control valve and reconnected it, that these problems were gone. but would return later on when i was driving. the car would give me bucking when i was lightly on the throttle. and wouldnt responed when i gave it gas to go. So i thought, "hm, must be the ICV." so i go and spend $135 for a brand spanking new one. so i put it in and the car acts no different then it did when it had the other ICV. so im going to put the old one back in and get my money back.
but my question is, why is it doing all of that? symtoms again are that it starts hard and sometimes takes some gas to get it started, will smoke and vibrate a lot when given gas, wont responed very well when i give it gas going on a gear. it acts the same both cold and warm sometimes.
if you need specifics or need to know more just ask me.
id appreciate the help! thanks
