Engine Spec: KA24E; 166,000 miles; Automatic; Just replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires; Just cleaned MAF and Throttle Body; Just Seafoamed and changed oil
Ok so it's wierd, my car has some problems that I am addressing right now:
-Rough idle (set to 900rpm, drops down to 400rpm every once in awhile and shakes like crazy) -FIXED-
-Car randomly will stutter/not go at times (Usually when gas pedal is lightly depressed, pretty sure thats a TPS problem)
-It does take awhile to warm up (Maybe there is no thermostat in the car?)
-Pretty bad gas mileage/running rich (About 18mpg highway, lots of popping out the rear sounds like it wants to be a flame shooting out and this is just at idle, shakes a lot in drive at a stoplight)
Now the main problem I am asking about is one I can't seem to figure out:
-My car will overheat with the A/C on a hot day at idle. I waited in the parking lot for about 10 minutes with the A/C blasting and my car started overheating. Could this be a temp sensor problem? Or maybe be a thermostat problem?
Thanks in advance guys!
