For roughly $49 dollars you'll eliminate the headache of pinpointing the problem yourself which could take more time and dollars then a diagnostic cost
Edit: I see you already found out what the problem was and the mechanic did'nt even charge you for a diagnosis. Good work!! ;wink: | |

It was a hose connector that had split so it was letting air out
Oh yeah I was gonna mention that.
(It was probably a vacuum line though, and let air in, not out. Or it was letting vacuum out)
The thing to keep in mind now is all those connectors under the hood, and all the hoses, as the same age. | |

I love pink! It is one of my favourite colours. And I'm so pretty in pink! No way I'm junking it till it's dead, dead, dead. To me a car is but a utility, getting me from A to Z, but this one, like some men's car, can actually be viewed as demonstrating part of my personality... You'd take that away from me? Naughty you, 1st falcon! ;-) | |

Make it a summer project -- replace old aged vacuum hoses. | |

| Car stalls when idling??? Posted: 3/1/2008 5:29:47 AM | | The first thing that pops to my mind is the car may be idling to low. To adjust the idle is very easy and is a matter of a screw turn in many cars. | |
