I've got two questions. I own a 94 and every morning I go start mt car I
get really bad lifter noise. I understand that the car is cold needs to
build up oil pressure however it goes on for at least 3 min. and longer.
What can I do? I run Mobil 1 and have 60,000 on the car. Any ideas? My
other question has to do with the idle. I have an idle of about 1200 rpm
however every time I put the car in gear at a stop the idle drops to
800-900 rpm. Its like a hose is leaky or off or something. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
