Good evening folks,
I've got a stupid question:
My 35th is acting kind of strange, I bought this as a project car and it seems it really is one... The car is idling very low, around 600-700 RPM in nutral. It is an auto, when I put it in Rev or D it drops to around 500RPM, as long as I keep the idle up to around 800RPM it stays pretty smooth and runs well. Tonight I noticed that while in gear, AC on the idle was dropping so low that the oil pressure gauge would fall off to nothing and make the Check gauges like come on in the instrument cluster. As soon as I brought the idle back up to around 800-850 oil pressue is way up there and the idle is smooth... This car has seen much better days and I'm rebuilding things as I find them, it's not on the road yet so I can't tell what it really does on the open road. Speedo was out also when I drove it home.. The head gaskets appear to have been done. I thought maybe an intake leak somewhere, but tonight I did the old Carb Cleaner thing on it and I didn't find any vacum leaks... Anyone got any ideas??
