So my 90 talon tsi is being a real prick lately, and I know more than your average man about cars but I can't just pick problems out on the spot.
It starts everytime, but it will either stutter really badly for about 15 seconds or idle high(which I believe is normal for a lot of 4cyl imports, my mr2 and civic both did it and had no issues) and then start bouncing up and down from 500-1500(that's the not normal part). When the idle does level it it's really choppy, like it has ebay cams or something which I know it doesn't. And then sometimes it will idle very smoothly around 800-900 which I imagine is normal for a DSM. It's gotten better since I fixed 100 vaccumm leaks that I found. Can this be a fuel delivery issue, maybe I need a new pump or injectors? I ran tests for everything idle related, if something was broken I replaced it. So far I needed to fix my ICV, o2 sensors, and a few others but they work so its unimportant.
