Ok i thought id make a separate post on the next issues im trying to solve on this wagon since i already got the shifting problem taken care of.
Agin this is a 92 Escort LX Wagon 1.9L Manual with 109,000 Miles.
I have 3 new issues i need to tackle so here they are.
Issue 1: Car seems to rev up in between shifts. im thinking this is called rev hang? what would cause this to happen.
Issue 2 : When car hasnt been started in a while, ill start it and it will idle a little high like most cars do to warm up the engine. when the idle slowly comes back down to the normal idle it has some issues.
The car will idle up and down really rough almost sounds like its choaking. I can let it sit there and do it for days and it wont stall out and this issue dosnt affect driving at all only when it goes back to its normal idling point.
I have already cheacked for any kind of vacuum leak and couldnt find any.
So im thinking TPS or EGR.
Issue 3: Last winter the car had a bad heating problem. On a cold day it would take 45min to warm up and then while driving the temp gauge would go down to cold. well i figured out the coolant bypass valve was melted inside the thermostat housing so i got a new housing.
The car will now heat up but the gauge will only go to the N on Normal.
On a hot day the temp gauge will go to the center of the word Normal.
I get a good amount of heat but im hoping that a cold day wont affect my car again like it did last year.
so all in all any ideas on why it only goes under the N on Normal?
Im hoping a coolant flush will take care of this but i dont know.
Parts i have replaced :
PCV Valve
Mass Air Flow sensor
Idle Air Control Valve
Air filter
Plugs & Wires
Clutch Master Cylinder
Slave Cylinder
Thermostat
Clutch Kit
Im sorry if this is a lot but im trying to get everything taken care of on this car before winter hits.
Any info would be of great help to me.
Thanks.
