I have a few problems with the car that might be related...
When the car is warmed up the idle is low (300-400 rpm) when it is supposed to be 550 with no load on it. When you rev the engine and let the gas pedal go, the engine speed drops and almost stalls.
I used a repair manual to get the idle speed up. I took off the IAC plug and raised the idle speed using the idle air s***w on the intake manifold, but now there is a "hooting" sound in the air intake when the engine is revved and then let back down to idle which is probably a problem with the IAC. Can you tell me what's goin on?
The 2nd problem is that something was drawing voltage, I checked with a test light which was flickering on and off until i pulled the "back up/radio" fuse from the underhood fuse box. Now nothing is drawing power but the radio won't hold presets because the fuse is out. Do you know why that is happening?
One last thing is that the idle speed doesn't go up when the headlights, rear defroster, or any electronics are turned on...and the idle speed drops a little when the wheel is turned.
Thanks a lot
