    Couple of problems....

    K guys I have searched everywhere and have had no luck.

    When I start my car in the morning it starts and idles at maybe 800rpm.. Never idles up for a couple min like I have read it's supposed to. It just stays at the warm idle setting I'm guessing. Well lately it's been dropping off when I'm at a light or what not till it feels like it's gonna stall. Drops down to like 400rpm or so. I'm gonna bleed my coolant tomorrow since I just replaced my radiator. I think I may have a bubble in the system although I have purged it a couple times already but I think I was doing it incorrectly. This time I'm going to bleed it without it runing. But the question is.. Why does it not have a fast idle when it's cold? Is my FIV shot? Any advice would be nice..

    Also.. Friday my shift interlock started screwin up.. would have to take my foot on and off the brake a couple times and it would finally release.. Well it has totally stopped working.. Havin to put my key in the interlock to get it to come out of park. Well I read up on it and it said you could hear the solenoid working in the console when you hit the brake pedal.. well I come home at lunch yesterday and turn the radio off.. step on the brake.. and could hear it working and sure enough it was working fine.. well come out after lunch and nope back to not working. I have already changed my TCU because I was having to manually shift it when I first got it.. My brake lights work so I know the brake light switch is working.. what else could it be? It's really driving me crazy and I really want to fix it asap.. Pointers would be great. I'm goin nuts havin to use both hands to shift..

    Came outside this morning and warmed it up to defrost the windshield.. Hit the brake pedal and it let me shift into reverse withouth the over ride... This is driving me nutty!

      1. Adjust your FITV/IACV
      2. Check the solenoid in the center console that unlocks the lever. ITs prob old and crapping out on you.

        K well I opened it up and tightened down the white plastic piece like I have read on here and that didn;t do anything.. what else? The shifting problem has turned into a work... don't work issue now... most the time it works and then sometimes it won't... The ide issue is givin me fits right now though.. Got a remote start put on my car saturday and now when it idles it will almost die.. Saturday when i got it put on I let it idle a while and it started to smoke and miss really bad... it's got all new wires,cap&rotor,plugs and O2 sensor on it.. so I dunno... drives me crazy.... and now it's wanting to tach 4500-5k before it shifts.. Argh this car will be the death of me.. :|

            checking the wires cap rotor is good, but right before my ignitor unit failed, my idle was abnormally low as well. Once that's gone then it wont even start, and you might need a tow. so check that out before it totally craps on you. I also had the main relay checked out as well, this i believe engages the fuel pump
