Now it has started this revving problem, where in park and neutral it's steady at 1000 rpm, and then it'll start dipping to 6 or 7 and then back up. We turn the car off before it gets too bad, but if we let it, it'd obviously cut out eventually. It won't do this when you start the car for the first time of the day, only after it is thoroughly warmed up... and it's been HOT here for the past month+!!
Came back from a doctor's appointment a week or so ago to find a random piece of metal in the driveway- it was the top part of the exhaust clamp that connects the catalytic converter to the muffler. The bottom piece was long gone and the screw that remained was so rusty, we could have tricked the Smithsonian into thinking it was a caveman artifact... After replacing this clamp, the problem of the revving once again seemed to calm down for a few days, however now it's back with a vengeance, and today it began to rev while in drive, waiting in line at the bank...
Did we screw ourselves with this generic MAF? would replacing it with a Bosch MAF solve this problem? Is it something else? I'm literally a week away from having a baby, this is our most reliable car, and we just want to get this all figured out asap!!
Ps... we figured we might as well replace the original O2 sensors as they are likely shot anyways, and are about to do the Timing belt/water pump, and PCV system- so all of that is currently on it's way to our house... lets see what else we have to do! yayy!!
