Does it start right up or does it take a few cranks?

Usually it starts in around 1 crank, I'm sure the compression isn't like new but it seems to run and drive fine. The oil and coolant seem to be great and it never smokes. Just idles weird.

3. If you can clean it up then do that but that switch only tells me the guy had flooding issues. If it works leave it alone....


These cars sell for 100-4500 depending on condition.

I am thinking it's the TPS now, I'm going to check around and make sure.

I'm going to run some rotella 15-40 or around that in it soon, the oil change in it now seems a little old

Also what I meant about the switch was where is a good place to put it?


Thx u all
