I have an 88 horizon 5 speed idi with 81,000 miles on it. Runs very good and in great shape. I have all the service records for the car since 55,000 miles. The previous owners took great care of it. When I got it it was overheating a bit so I replaced the thermostat and all is well. Replaced the air filter oil filter, oil, coolant, rear struts for hatch, all new stereo system, fixed all the rust painted with exact matching paint, undercoated the whole car to keep it in the shape its in (previous owner undercoated it and its immaculate from that and starting to fade out so I re did it).
The only problem doesn't keep it from being drivable. It has the well known erratic and high idle. What do I need to check for common areas to fix this?
In addition if Im coasting in gear it will sort of lundge forward consistently nd also wen I go to tap the gas it hop forward a few times. also when I accelerate it sometimes stumbles a bit. not the engine skiing time of stumble. Im going to run seafoam through the tank to see if that helps.
Any suggestions? Thank you
