    Sheesh, does anyone know how to spell anymore?

    I've seen this on many different kinds of cars caused by a gunked up
    throttle plate or idle control valve. It can also happen if the idle is
    set too low, but that doesn't usually go out of adjustment unless
    someone messes with it.

    Not very many, it seems. The English language is in desperate trouble
    if it continues to be dissected by lazy morons.

    Thank you for your assistance. On the spelling, using ’u’ for you and
    ’ur’ for your, does not mean I don’t know how to spell, if it is not
    acceptable to you, fine by me.
    But ’Sheesh’ is also not in the English dictionary

    'Text Speak' is fine when you need to save keystrokes or time. When
    you are asking for technical help in a forum like this, though, you're
    much better off taking the time to spell out the words - it doesn't give
    the impression that you want our time but can't be bothered to take any
    yourself. If nothing else it slows down the Trolls. ;-)

    there's an http odyssey forum out there - odyclub or something like that.
    check there - i believe there may have been a problem with idle air
    control valves.

    "Text speak" hits a nerve with me, I don't even use it in text messages
    and cringe when I see it. It's more difficult to read and has a juvenile
    and unprofessional appearance. Unless you're charged money by the
    keystroke, then I recommend taking the time to at least attempt proper
    spelling and grammar. It's not so much being on a high horse, just a
    friendly suggestion that taking some time to post something easily read
    is more likely to get you a helpful response rather than people
    discounting you as just some stupid kid. When you have a full sized
    keyboard in front of you, how long does it really take to type a few
    more letters? You wouldn't use text speak on a resume cover letter or
    business proposal would you? Take the time to ask nicely for advice, and
    someone is more likely to take the time to give you a nice response.
    Text speak in a public forum is like showing up to the office or a town
    hall meeting in boxer shorts or fuzzy pajamas and bunny slippers; you
    may be comfortable, but it will be difficult for others to take you
    seriously and reflects negatively on you. Sadly, an English teacher
    friend of mine says that text spelling is even starting to show up in
    homework assignments at the highschool level.

    Illiterate lazy people's English is what it should be called. It's an
    insult to the rest of us who use the language properly.

  12. Besides a dirty throttle body, it can be a vacuum leak into the intake
    manifold. Erratic high idle is also a symptom of vacuum leaks but small
    leaks may not do that. Leaks can be hard to find mostly because the hoses
    are usually going obscure places, but if you can get each off the intake
    manifold side of the throttle body or the manifold itself and ensure they
    hold vacuum (even a "suck test" is good), most of them can be tested that
    way. Leaks are usually at one end or the other, caused by cracks in the
    hose. The one that leads to the PCV valve will be different, since the PCV
    valve is vacuum sensitive. It has to be tested by removing the hose from the
    PCV valve and plugging it with your finger.

    For the same reason, if you don't know when the PCV valve has been replaced
    now is a good time to replace it on general principles. It can be cleaned if
    money is really tight, but replacing is better. If it is really gunked up it
    can cause the symptoms you describe.

    He is posting from "autoboardz" (note the z)
    Poor maintenance. Could also be an O2 sensor, but that's highly
    unlikely unless it is REALLY high mileage.

    Might be the torque converter. If the stall speed is too high it can
    drag down the engine.

    I am very picky. In fact, I rarely even use contractions. Folks for
    whom English is a second language get a break, mostly because they do
    a better job than I would with their language. But I also have a
    friend who is a Toastmaster (Advance Toastmaster Gold, if that means
    anything to you) who speaks on grammar and spelling. And is a
    Filipino who didn't learn English until college.

    No, it means your too damn lazy.
    Um, yes it is. Oxford. Get the full edition (roughly 4 pounds).

  17. While I would hesitate to consider myself a wordsmith, I try to observe
    the basic rules of grammar and spelling. Sometimes, (more often than I
    like), the plel chekker fails me.

    Regarding Toastmasters, I was a member of the local group when I worked
    on Kwajalein in the 1970's. This is an organization that is truly
    worthwhile.

    But youse bettah wachout if'n my kinfolk, (Mafioso), git ticked but
    y'all git along down the road, (Texan).

    Heh!

    BTW, it is spelled "you're too damned lazy.." but why quibble?
    It is difficult to say which is more nearly egregious; the brainless
    text-message style contractions of the original poster or the rush to
    judgment by the critics of this person. IMO (is that contraction OK with you
    language police?) the appropriate response to what might be perceived as
    spelling idiocy is, "I am upset by your contractions" or "I feel the taxes I
    paid for public education have been a waste" or whatever. To conclude that
    the original poster is a lazy person is lazy thinking. This person may very
    well be hugely ambitious and accomplished. The critics may very well be
    losers with their dicks in their hands. Who knows? Who cares? Best advice:
    Don't judge before all the facts are in.

    there's one huge fact staring this thread in the face: out of 18
    responses, only two begin to address the question. all the rest are
    irrelevant bullshit. and it's the irrelevant bullshit that's getting the
    traffic. i don't know why these people don't just go watch tv. at least
    with tv, the stupidity is not duplex.
