Well friday night when I got home from work in the 323, I swaped cars. I put the 323 in the yard and pulled out the protege. It was the weekend and the protege needed to stretch it's legs and burn some gas. Anyway I changed the oil thursday night and while I did that I put the little breather hose back on the intake. I usually leave it disconected. Well fine friday I go and pick up this girl that I am dating so we can go to the movies. So on the way there I reach a stop light and the frigin car drops idle, it drops to like 400 then goes up to 1100 then drops to 500 then goes up to 800 then would settle. This was all while my foot was on the brake.
Anyhow I pick her up and I am on my way to the movies, we get on the highway, make it up to new rochelle and then hit a light ... Same **** but car stalls out. ahhh .
Basically for the rest of the night when I got to a light and had my foot on the brake the car would stall out.
Anyhow yesterday (Sunday) before I went to Englishtown Raceway.. I disconnected the breather from the intake. Fine ok and dandy. Start the car up and drive reach a light, no problem. The idle droped down to 650 - 800 with no problems. The car did not stall once through out the whole day. Even when coming back after the races (which I have photo's off), the car did not stall at all, No problems.. This was much better.
Although I know the tps may need to be adjusted, I didn't look into that yet. I can let you draw your own conclusion.
BTW: The protege pulls pretty damn nice with 4 people in the car me 218 , friend 190, brother 150, and other friend about 219 ... Pulls pretty hard and has no problems cruising. This used to be a problem in my 1.5..(carying 4 people).
thanks for reading.
