ok yes i know

first when cars cold it has rough idle and bogging feeling tell about 3000 rpm.
when i start it and let it warm up it does not do it at all. I know it needs upper 60k but it didnt do this before we worked on it. i know i need o2's the cel light goes on above 60 mph and turns off below 60 only during accel.

seconed my steering, when i turn right its smooth and it turns all the way to lock when i turn left i can feel the wheel **** or twitch as im turning the wheel
.my friend said my car turns sharper to the right than the left like the wheels not angled enough when i turn left. any ideas is all im looking for i know my ps belt is getting old

Rough running is normal for a cold engine. Give the engine a minute or two to warm up.

power steering fluid?

I had a similar bogging problem with my car. It turned out that the cats were shot. A replacement y-pipe fixed me right up. :)

Plugs and Plug wires. From having all that oil in the wells it can easily short them out. The plugs will also carbon arc.

For the steering thing , have a quick check of your rear subframe bushings/bolts , look for tear/unbolted/missing bolt or bushing.

takse 2 seconds to check that.

Take the wheels off and look to see if anything sheered off or if anything doesnt look right. I would also check the sub-bushings.

as far as the cold start/stumbling, that sounds like a vacuum leak. Check all the cupplers on the intake.

Especially since you have had the intake off recently.

i'd make sure the intake is bolted down tight and that you evenly tightened them down

I know how to tourqe an intake down thank you very much. I would lean towards the gaskets....IMHO they looked like $hit. But what can you do :salute:

just throwing it out there... i thought i knew how to torque an intake down too... but there was one time where i had to redo it.... but the gaskets are a very valid point... that car did need alot of gaskets...


have you tried spraying carb cleaner at the base of the manifold while it was running, that'll tell you where your vaccum leak is (which is what your symptoms sound like)
