they hurt my baby!
So some fucker thought it would b a good idea to hit the front end of my car while it was parked in a shoping plaza lot. i didnt notice the damage till i got home and walked around my car so you can imagein my dismay at finding both my kidney grills compleatly missing and the metal around them bent in to hell! luckily the didnt get the bumper or the head lights and they mercifuly avoided the new hood! but i have now noticed that on start up once every few times the car idles rough around 1k untill it warms up. and also every once in a while it will sound overly loud when being reved between 2 and 3k other then that it sounds compleatly normal. so please any thoughts guys? the temps are the same, the OBC reads all a ok, and no hoses or fans seem to be pinched or overly loose. im at a bit of a loss so any thoughts would b appreciated! thanks guys!

no thoughts, cant really pinpoint the problem, because rough idle is one of the problems that can be 3000 things, can you be more specific?

no, once the car warms up the idle is fine.

Sorry to hear that....oh dude! I'd be uber pissed.
That sucks! Good thing the Insurance has got it covered and your premium doesn't go up.
Next time, your car deserves to be preserved....park across the street and walk. |
