Where are the sensors? And what can I use to clean them? Due to the seeming inability to use simple solutions like soap and water, surely there is some $30 cleaner than can ONLY be used to clean the sensors.

When I get paid Friday, I've got to get a set of front tires, and after that, depending on the cash "sitcheeashun", I'm might get the flush done.

The sensors are magnetic so cleaning them usually involves just a rag and water. There is one on each wheel. There's wiring going to them and they st on the backside of the rotors on the dustshields. You have to take out the retaining clips/bolts to get them out from under the car, clean them, and put them back. Make sure each one goes back on the correct wheel (or just leave the wires plugged in and clean them while under the car.)

Hey Mr. Pinto, can I have that part # for the Dual Exhaust from Summit?

(And did you ever get your scanner to work??)

I would be interested in this as well.

Ok guys, I think it's time to bring attention to one of the potential "issues" I've encountered since owning this Turbo. When I start the car, in park, the engine idles really high. It usually crawls up to 1k and then rapidly shoots to 2k where it stays there. If I sit for a minute or so, it will drop to 1500rpm, stay there for a few seconds and then go back to 2k. And it will repeat itself over and over.

While in drive, at a stop, the engine idles at about 1100rpm. That's usually pretty constant, although after sitting a some lights, it will go up just slightly.

At first I thought..."bad TFI"...since that always seems to cause trouble, and always seems to fix everything, but then the more I thought about it, I said..."maybe it's the timing...perhaps it's too advanced." The previous owner was running Premium all the time and had the switch set for it as well.

I know idling in park at 1500-2k is way high, and 1100 in drive is as well. I'm thinking someone just grabbed the Distributor and twisted it as far as it could go.

What should I do first? I'm assuming if the "dizzy" was turned too much, it would affect the idle like it's doing now right?

That sounds like a vacuum leak, bad or sticking IAC or bad TPS...

Would checking the codes show this?

It just seems to me like the Idle is set way to high. It drives fine. But a 2k idle in park? C'mon now!?

Ok, well, I checked the codes and pulled 83. I checked them twice, and 83 was the only thing coming up. For our cars this means??

Key was in the On position, but engine was not running. I can't be more specific. The light light bulb blinked 8 times, paused, blinked 3 times. About a 5 second pause came, and again 8 blinks pause...3 blinks. That was it.

Yeah, I know the fans aren't right because they run all the time. When I turn the key to the run position both come on and stay on. I'm not too worried about that. I did read that the "83" could mean that, and it makes perfect sense actually. So, if the codes don't show anything wrong except the fans being on all the time....now what?

Gee...what do you think the Idle Air Control valve does?  Unplug it.  Does the idle drop?

Code 83 is for the high-speed fan relay I think.
