The easy one is the rear diff mount... the other two require the engine / transmission to be lowered slightly, so that the mounts can be removed. Can be a bit scary, considering the weight of the vehicle (raise on to jack stands) and then having to support / lower the engine / transmission. Work safe!

Great and helpful video. I have a new to me 93 2.5 EV 5-speed. It idles high and pulsates between 1500-1700 when warm. I notice it stops pulsating when I turn the PS pump (which is also making its own noise). Could it be the PS switch like you mention @ 4:45?

@EXOVCDS

2 жыл бұрын

NO... the PS switch (when it goes bad) will result in a low idle. If the vehicle has AC, check if the heater controls are set to AC. If yes, change the settings so that AC is off. When AC is active, the engine computer raises the engine rpm to compensate for the AC load... if the AC is not working, then there is no extra load on the engine... that would warrant the engine computer to raise the engine speed. If the vehicle does not have AC or turning AC OFF does not make a difference... then you would have to start with checking the basics. Cam & crank alignment, ignition timing, base idle speed, correct operation of the idle stabilizer, vacuum leaks etc. Thank you for watching!

Hey! Great vid. At around 1:05 you put your left hand down to this black tube that goes to the left from a black circular cap. Can you tell me what that is? Mine is disconnected and has yellowy oil residue in it, but the van still runs. Thanks for any help you can give!

@EXOVCDS

That's the PCV breather hose... it is connected to the PCV valve at the right side of the valve cover and is connected to the air intake tube at the left side of the engine. Yellow oil mix substance is oil that has been mixing with moisture / condensation. Remove the hose and the PCV valve and clean them... so that the engine crankcase can breathe correctly again. Odds are good that the diaphragm inside the PCV valve is broken (from old age). If you can source a new valve, replace it... and the rubber grommet that the valve sits in on the valve cover.

One has 3 wires, the other 2.

Gasoline or diesel engine? I assume gasoline... check the vacuum hose that goes to the ECM. If the hose is broken, the ECM will add too much fuel. In that case, the engine will run rough at idle, but will seem to run fine under hard acceleration. If it runs rough under hard acceleration as well... check fuel pressure and O2 sensor output.

Will it run fine if the throttle is kept above idle? A common problem (that I recently mentioned in one of my Eurovan videos) is the Power Steering Pressure Switch shorting out, causing the idle to be low / stalling when turning the steering wheel. Disconnecting the PS pressure switch will stop the fuse from blowing. If that is not the case, then continue with the other items on that circuit. If the engine does not keep running with the throttle above idle, something else is going on.
