kiwi87 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Well for some reason I have a good tranny in the car it just got put in the other day......no for some reason in 5th gear at 75 it redlines.....I am thinking it is because it idles high(roughly 1800), a leak in the brake booster, or the I.A.C.V(IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE).........I could be way off in my ideas so if anyone has any ideas can you please help me out here...I just don't want to be spending a crap ton of money on parts I don't need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 well my best suggestion is, next time you pick up a hooker is to do a package check, basicly you just grab down below and make sure there is no funny business so you dont end up getting a tranny. ok ok joking aside What trans are your running, what motor are you running, what are you redlining at (rpm).

kiwi87 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 yeah but i need to know RPM your redlining at. 6500 RPM....but that needle will spin until the engine blows or spins a bearing...it's virtually just a stock 87 SI.......the only things done to it is a mini glass pack and intake...

Does it feel like the clutch is slipping at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it feel like the clutch is slipping at all?

kiwi87 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 what was it to be currious? The IACV....it's shot beyond all reason so the car idles 1500 rpm too high....I came to this conclusion because I blocked off the brake booster to drop the rpms a little and we started getting a little more out of it.....but now the new problem is I have been looking for 2 days straight and nobody has one no internet site or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its kinda scary up there, I might decide to finally get rid of everything up there so I can store tool kit cases up there. God knows I need the space!!!
