    Heat Only Work When Engine is Revving

    It's actually gotten cold enough in Southern California that I've needed to put the heat on in the Jeep. Unfortunately, the heat only blows out hot water when the engine rpms are higher. If I am sitting at a light with the engine idling, the cold air will start to blow out. I've also noticed...

    Vacuum Leak High RPMs At Start-up and When Idling

    I'm having an issue with a vacuum leak. It is causing the engine to rev high when I first start the vehicle up and when I am stopped at a light in neutral. When stopped at the light the engine will rev up to 1k RPM. If I pump the brakes the revs will jump up to around 1500 RPM and then come back...
