My hatch is having an idling problem

By JohnAWESOME
- Sat Nov 20, 2010 8:09 pm #223772 Ok I have a 94 vx and after it has warmed up when I come to a stop it just revs up and down. Is this an easy fix or is it one of those things that could be a ton of hunting for the issue?

Also ghskid06 that car looks good I am in search of new headlights and was wondering if you knew what kind those are on the black sedan?

chilango41 Like your hatch wheels are nice. I cant wait till this spring then I can put some work into mine.

Thanks man, the headlights are just black housing ebay halo lights. Some people dont like them but i think they are pretty clean looking, and go really well with a black car.

The mesh had some crap in it so sprayed it out with brake cleanner and then air. then warmed up the car and opened that bleeder and got a few bubbles but nothing extreme. Tried to get it to have the idle problem again and couldn't so I figure its fixed. Thanks again :thumb: :hehe:
