I am sure many of you have read and some replied on my previous posts about my 94' SC. I had put a new motor in it and was having a ton of problems getting it to run. I took it to the dealer and were able to find a problem. I forgot to bolt the EGR valve to the back of the motor and it was creating a huge vacuum leak. They were going to put the bolts in for me and charge me $120 (1 HR 1/2 labor) to do that. I did it myself in about 15 minutes so I only had to pay a diagnostics fee of $80.
After I put the bolts in, I started it and it sounds almost like it used to! The motor ran pretty good for the most part. There was some vibrations around 1500 to 2000 rpm and lower rpms though which has not been resolved yet. It revs out very smooth in the higher rpm range. Also, the main problem still is that it wont idle. It still just sputters and dies after I take my foot off of the pedal. I think there may still be a vacuum leak somewhere else but I'm not sure. I have checked everywhere I can think of. The car is at the dealer still and they are going to look at it today or tomorrow. I just hope it is something simple.
