hey guys,
I ran the car today for a while and all was fine until the car got warm. When I stop the car at a light or whatever, the rpms fall and the car dies. It will start back up, but when I shift outta park and into reverse or drive, same thing....rpms fall and it dies. I did a search and got ALOT of different suggestions as to the problem. I did get alot of hits about the motor mounts so I checked them as suggested and they seem to be fine, the motor doesn't move at all when throttle is goosed(in park or in drive). I also check the IC tubes with propane and nothing happened. I let the car sit and idle for about 30 minutes to make sure it wouldn't overheat, which it didn't, my fan even kicked on ! ( I thought the fan was bad). As soon as I got in to move it out of the garage....boom...stall city. I REALLY want to drive this car home soon.....someone please help.
PS.-I went to my favorite u-pick-it junk yard that I have been going to for 3 years to get parts for my base model bird and I have only ever seen 1 SC in there before ( one fake one). Today I find 3 !! and all 3 have the SC embossed on the front bumper cover. I'm going back Sunday to see if they are still there. 2 of the 3 had ALL tabs intact ! 1 rear cover was in decent shape the others were terrible. QUESTION - If my SC didn't come with the VMM, is it wired already for it? I don't think so but I'm not sure.
