#1966 of 4944 throttle body noise by rlenz2711 Sep 02, 2005 (3:48 am)
I have a 92 chevy 350 tbi. there is a loud knocking noise coming from the throttle body until the engine warms up. It quiets down after about 10 minutes. Could this be the injectors or the pressure regulator. using a stethoscope the noise is all over the top of the throttle body. Thanks

#1968 of 4944 start stall by seitz_82 Sep 02, 2005 (7:59 pm)
i have an '89 olds cutlass ciera i just started it up after three months it ran for an hour now it wont start. what it will do is start then stall out like it wants to run. i think it may be the air charge sensor. To find out what the code is i know you can use a paper clip but i dont remember which posts it touch toe paper clip to or may be an easier way to fix it or find out. thanks Replies to this message: alcan (Sep 03, 2005 3:23 am)

#1970 of 4944 Volvo S70 dash question by mdwalton1 Sep 03, 2005 (3:21 pm)
While starting my car today, the dash blinked "dISC" (looked just like that) where the time and temperature is normally read. Did it twice, then stopped. As the dealer is closed today, I'm trying to find out from others what this means (and if I can take it 15 miles away to my indy mechanic or if it'll shut down on me on the highway).

Replying to: mdwalton1 (Sep 03, 2005 3:21 pm) this is VERY common (i'm really surprised this is the first time you are seeing it). The connectors on the switch get dirty and lose contact. MOst times, the quick and easy fix is the quickly rotate the switch all the way left and right several times. This will usually clean the connectors. In more extreme cases, you can remove it, disassemble it, and clean it. Or, of course, you could always replace it. Replies to this message: mdwalton1 (Sep 03, 2005 4:55 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 03, 2005 4:16 pm) If I read this correctly, I think you mean the knob that tells me the temp. and miles is dirty and that's why the word "dISC" is flashing. If so, I'll try to flip it a few times and see if it stops doing that. Thanks for your help!!
