Hi
Just purchased a 91 Galant VR4 (JDM), EVO 0.
Couple of issues i have atm... that i would like to sort.
First off, when starting cold, idle is about 2200 rpm, and takes around 10 mins of driving to come down to 1000rpm. It will sit just above 1000rpm once the car temp gauge is at half, and then after about 5 more minutes, come down to about 800rpm like it should. Im going to change the thermostat to see if i can get it to temp quicker, but i dont think that will affect the idle speed.
The car also occasionally tries to stall at idle, and can bounce up and down rpm. Does this completely randomly, but only when warm. When cold its rock solid.
The other issue is have is that the clutch bites ON the floor. 90% of the pedal travel is wasted, and makes for a very short engagement. The first time i drove the car it was grinding into gears, even when stopped, so the clutch pedal rod was adjusted, and it stopped doing that, but the travel is still VERY short.
Look forward to ANY help on sorting these issues, as its really putting a massive downer on driving this car.
