Also when idleing, it will rev up and drop over and over.<BR>(2) when I turn left or right I get a clacking sound from the frount area.<BR>If any one out there can or have had this problem, could you please reply with how you took care of these problems. <A HREF="mailto:null[EMAIL]jberm8556@yahoo.com">null[EMAIL]jberm8556@yahoo.com</A>

well im not to sure about the idle thing but for the clicking u might just want to check out the axels that will probobly solve your problem..

I ALSO HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IN AN EARLIER POST SOMEONE TOLD ME TO CHECK THE SMALL TUBES RUNNING TO MY AIR BOX, THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN MIXED AROUND. THE PROBLEM CAN ALSO BE FROM A CRACK IN THE INTAKE HOSE I'VE ALSO HAD THAT PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE HOSE FIXED IT FOR A WHILE. CHECK THESE FIRST. THE CLICKING WHEN TURNING IS PROBABLY YOUR C.V. AXLES GOING BAD, CHECK FOR CRACKS IN THE BOOTS THAT HOUSE THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS. IF THE BOOTS ARE CRACKED THEY ARE SHOT AND YOU'LL NEED TO REPLACE THE BOOT AND AXLE.

Just one more suggestion, if you use the search option at the top of the bulletin page you can find answers w/o having to post and wait for replies.
