    Default A few questions....

    G'day fellas, I'm new to this forum and havent long bought my car.... Anyway, wondering if some of you could help me out here.

    Its idoling a little rough. What is the likely cause? Injectors are fine, so PCV pipe?

    ABS isnt working, ABS fuse?

    Looking to drop the car and stiffen it up a bit. Would a pedders kit be the way to go? And any ideas how much it cost?

    If its idling a little rough i'd recommend cleaning the inside of the plenum as it gets a lot of crap built up in it... also the throttlebody and theres something else in the throttlebody that you should clean as well its called a something valve (as you can see i have forgotten what its called) anyway it controls the idle pretty much

    That should solve your problem

    Check your IAC valve which sits on the top of your throttle body, there known to play up and fall apart inside which causes a rough idle.

    Might be your O2 sensor? I've had plenum and whatnot cleaned, ran injector cleaner... Used premuim petrol.. and still had a little miss in my idle. Still yet to replace the O2 sensors. but they would cause problems. just sayin

    I push the pedal to the floor, smoke them up and go.
