Default nothing but problems

2 major things. Needs new headgasket. DO i hafta remove the engine in order to replace this. Or can i keep it in the car. It looks like a bitch to get out. Also my cars idling at 2 rpms still. i posted awhile ago i got cleaner in my intake manifold and it "burped" back threw the intake. What do u think it is. THanks all

No the entire engine doesn't have to be removed to get the head off. But its quite the operation just to get the head itself off. You have to take a lot of other stuff off around it, to get it out.

....2 rpms? are you running a really low rpm diesel engine?[sm=lol.gif]


but yeah, do you mean 200 or 2000?

For the headgasket...engine stays in and you remove the head and all that good garbage.

The idle...have you checked the BISS screw on the throttle body?

check engine light was on. But the cars been sitting there awhile, battery went dead. Now its off. Im hoping to get the headgasket changed. And get it to like autozone and get the codes. Im thinking its like the oxygen sensor or something. Dam all teh sensors. stupid computers.
