hey all
i have a really funny problem with my sportivo.
after sitting so long, i havent been driving it these last 3 months and the battery has gone flat a few times.
yesterday i started up and he warmed it up. i sh#t myself as he left the engine running for only 15 mins (idling) and the temp gauge went within 5mm from the "H"...
any damage in the internals from over heating? anyways before i did that, i noticed the climate control was removed from the car. the fan will not work and the coolant will not flow due to the heater core coolant not circulating. so i plugged in the climate control before and the fan worked ok again.
but since i started it, it has been running at 2k rpm even when warm. there was a mechanic who hooked up a diagnostic machine on the OBDII and no fault codes came up. i reset the ecu again and still the same thing happened...
the ONLY thing i did change was the stock box to a injen CAI. I made sure that all the hoses that are meant to be blocked WERE BLOCKED and there were no vaccuum leaks anywhere in the pipes in the bay. i tried the TRD CAI before and that ran fine...
mechanic said that maybe it just hasnt been driven for a long time, thats why its idling that high?
i did clean the icv not long ago so this shouldn't be a problem. the only thing i did was installed an injen CAI.
i'm outta ideas. has anyone had this problem before?
thanks all.
