Hi all,
So while I have been trying to find out why my car was starting and immediately shutting off, after checking all other possible culprits, I began to see the Idle Speed Motor.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed the tube that comes from underneath to the bottom of the mixture unit was very loose. This tube I have found out is also called the 'pipe of agony'. I could easily move the tube
right to left in about 1.5 inches each way with no resistance. At one point I ventured to try to pull it out of the hole, but I stopped because it seemed like nothing was gonna stop it!
Something tells me this doesn't seem right. I believe this should be firmly held in place by a sort of oring and copper ring? If this is so loose will it cause a sort of vacuum leak that would prevent a car from idling or even trying to rev at stand still ?
I think this is my issue, any thoughts?
Thanks,
