Ok stopped for gas tonight and when I got in and started the car up it wouldn't idle again. Damn car anyways so when I got home I remembered what people siad about the gas cap. I got out put the gas cap back on and it seems to run fine again. No check engine light or any light came on either? I dont understand because when I put the cap on everytime I make sure it locks and spins freely before I drive away.

Ok this car is really getting me mad. Went for lunch today and when I went to come back to work it would not idle again. I did not get gas but I checked that anyways and still doesn't idle.

I just got the thing tuned up last week and when it came back it idled high for about 2 - 3 minutes before coming down to normal. What do you guys think?

Ok a screw fell off that held on on something on the throttlebody. I think it was a sensor or something but how does a screw just fall off anyways? Ok I asked someone here at work and they told me it was the Base Idle Adjustment Screw that fell off.

I checked the repair manual I downloaded from here but can not find it so if someone knows where it is please let me know and I will double check.
