    Idle air control problem

    I used to unhook the battery when I was at camp, but it's such a pain to sit there and baby sit it while it relearns itself how to run again, (not to mention it scares the crap outta me that it won't run right again if I keep doing that!) so I stopped doing it. I would sure like to learn more...

    Idle air control problem

    I don't think it is the iac itself, but the component that is causing it to stick on, in a weird pulsing way. I tried to measure the voltage, but lost my patience waiting for it to tick on. (sometimes it does it every second, sometimes its a few seconds apart, and my attention span is terrible!)...

    Idle air control problem

    Hope someone can help me figure this out. My 2004 6 cyl. auto jeep with 58,000 miles, has a parasitic drain somewhere. I did the usual pull relay/fuses put a test light on the battery cable (removed) and it only lights the light for an instant. I notices a faint ticking sound by the throttle...

    Maine New England folks?

    Yes, Monson Abbot, & Moosehead have all been bought up by people "from away"! They are turning it into an artsy, fartsy, treehugging commune and posting everything up. The side by sides have become such a nuisance that they changed the laws banning the use of them in alot of areas. They are also...
