Strange behavior 98 SI
Hey guys -
A friend of mine has a 98 SI (canada) and lately she's been complaining about erratic idling (higher than normal and fluctuates) also poor gas mileage and bogging when she goes WOT.
I suggested changing the PCV valve first before anything else, but she was convinced it's the MAP sensor. My question is with this behavior listed above, would this indicate a faulty MAP sensor or something else.
The shop she brought it to said she needs a new MAP sensor and a AIC???? I have never heard of this before and figured I would get some great info if I posted here.
I honestly don't have a lot of faith in that shop and I'd hate to see her get taken to the cleaners for something very simple.
Thanks a million guys.
Nick

Clean out IACV, warm up the car then reset the ECU.
Allow the ECU to run for 10minutes without touching the Acclerator.

Yeah, apparently she was throwing a code. I'm waiting to hear back to see what code it was.
